Mike Trial's new reminiscence covers his youth from age eight through eleven. Accustomed to moving as a child, he looks back with fondness and wonder at the cultural and travel experience he was exposed to during those years. From Kansas City, Missouri to Sidon, Lebanon and back to Columbia, Missouri where his family settled in his father's retirement, this is a book heavy with family and travel photos taken by Mike's father, and Mike's sentimental description of his nostalgic childhood memories enriched by security of family and overseas living.
