O knihe
Floyd Miles' mother dies when he is 7 years old. Floyd and 4 of his 6 brothers and little 3 year old sister are sent to the Child Saving Institute when their father realizes he cannot care for them. Floyd writes about his adoption by an older couple and the dispersion of the family. Floyd finds work and educates himself after he drops out of High School to support his ill adopted father and
his adopted mother. Eventually he marries and has children. He trains as a Boy Scout Executive and after several years of scouting becomes the director of the DeMolay Youth Center in Great Falls Montana. Included are newspaper clippings of his careers, old photos, his short stories, his poetry and philosophical essays as well as excerpts from letters written through many years, which vividly portray his unique outlook on life, his writing talent and his observations about the times he lived in.
