    <body><![CDATA[A memoir about growing up in the mid-1950s in Lewiston, NY, near Niagra Falls.  Easy to read a chapter and put it down.  It is memories of childhood.  I can't relate to this--I don't remember much when I was ten years old, let alone being four.  Much of it is funny, some outrageous.
