I think that in my Hometown
Memories collection, I've established—at least to my own
satisfaction—that you can go home again. Perhaps not with
a boy's innocence and enthusiasm, but certainly with an adult's
fond memories and deep appreciation for the gifts of community,
of belonging, of shared values and dreams that are the essence
of the hometown experience. Hometown Morning
is the sixth and final look at the hometown of my boyhood—and,
I hope, at some of the things you remember most warmly about
your hometown as well.
