In her third book, Jean Arleen Breed uses poetry to tell her story of growing up in Port Henry, New York. According to the author, this book is for you if...

If you ever sat on Hubbard Brothers' porch and ate a maple-frosted donut on a summer day.
If you stood on the sidewalk on Labor Day and watched the Golden Eagles march by.
If you were ever comforted by Ray Harland and Jerry Grant.
If you valiantly tried to tap dance and keep up with Rose McNamara at the VFW.
If you ever walked into St. Patrick's church on Christmas Eve and were surrounded by a miracle.
If you ever cheered for Johnny Podres, or stood around a bonfire the night before the Mineville-Port Henry football game.
If you were blessed by Monsignor Stai and helped by Doctor Glavin.
If you ever went "over street" and painted the store windows for Halloween.
If you were lucky enough to know Barbara Phinney at the bakery or Miss Butterfield at the candy shop.
If you bought your shoes from Rose Corbo and your medicine from Kathleen Martin.
If you ever went down in the mines and worked, or if you served on the rescue squad.
If you can close your eyes and smell the coffee beans that Jenny ground in the A&P.
If you can hear Sam Sagan laugh out loud and see Mame serve coffee in the Lee House on Sunday.
If you own a Ruth Rumney painting and can remember the day you bought it long ago.
If you ever went into Mr. Aurilio's shoe shop to get your shoes repaired.
If you remember Mrs. Sweeney cooking at the rectory and Louie running errands for Sam Sagan.
If you remember walking down to see Gene & Alice on a summer night and getting a Michigan.
If you remember going to Breen's or Vi's or Carr's.
If Miss Hennessey taught you to type, Mr. Davis taught you to paint, and Father Paul taught you to pray—

Then this book is for you...
