"This story is an inspirational account of a young boy growing up in Melbourne during the 1950s...It tells how he escaped from a traumatic home life with a limited education, how he rode a bicycle 33 km a day to and from his first job and how he eventually married and set up a successful business working from home with the world at his feet. Be with him as he takes to bushwalking, not for the exercise or the challenge but to escape, to find solace and maybe friends away from his toxic home environment. Despite the best efforts of a caring and loving mother, see how his tyrannical father transforms an innocent, sensitive and artistic little boy into a rampantly cynical and screwed up adult with serious personal issues. Be amazed as Rick manages to overcome it all without taking to drink or drugs, get married, have children, set up a successful business and achieve what he thought was the perfect lifestyle. Follow the journey as he loses it all; his wife and family, his business and his dignity. And at age 43, how he found himself in the dole queue living his worst nightmare away from family and without friends or money. Watch as Rick against the odds slowly climbs from the abyss to finally succeed in ticking off most of the items currently on his bucket list. Rick hopes his experiences will inspire fellow baby-boomers and remind them that there but for the grace of God go all of us." -- back cover.

Neither celebrity-gawk, “misery memoir,” nor confessional melodrama, A Berkshire Boyhood is more reminiscent of such memoirs as Tobias Wolff’s This Boy’s Life and Emily Fox Gordon’s Are You Happy? In fact, A Berkshire Boyhood will strike readers as a parallel universe to Gordon’s book, her own story of growing up in Williamstown, Massachusetts, as a privileged faculty brat and young girl in the 1950s. Berkshire Boyhood is a boy’s story of growing up from working class roots in that same place and time. It explores family troubles arising out of the wounds and separations of World War II, ethnic religiosity, and adolescent sexuality (1950s variety). Its deeper appeal comes from our curiosity about the 1950s and the Boomer generation, from the fraught relations between that generation and their parents, who fought WWII, from our interest in the influence of landscape on human development, and from a vision of post-war years as a decade seething with the anger and dissent of an incipient counterculture that would explode the sixties.

From Zero to Puberty and Other Life Stories is a memoir collection of stories and selected examples of author, commentator and retired teacher Terry Donnelly. The book highlights the people and times from the late 1940's to today." The range of emotions reflects the seasons of a life. They flit from hilarious, to somber, to thought provoking. The author uses his "common man" status to offer "tales, confessions, and musings" as snapshots of the baby boomer generation-a generation in which we went from propeller-driven airplanes to deep space exploration, from inkwells in desks to instant, electronic communication, and from music on vinyl, through music in cyberspace, to music trending back to vinyl. From Zero to Puberty challenges readers to scribble notes in the margins, and then proceed to write your own history.
