Description
The urgency of the 60s, anecdote upon anecdote of aunties, parents and community--all swirling around the story of the author as a growing boy, young man, then adult whose imagination, courage and mindfulness carved a winding path toward success in the world and peace in the heart. This book is about love.
--Jane Stenson, storyteller, educator, and author, Wisconsin
BobbyNorfolk's story encourages the reader to breathe in - breathe out, kick the dust from underneath your feet. His life informs us that no matter the journey - we can strive to make the best of it.
--Diane Williams, storyteller and author, Mississippi
Whether he's working on the stage or on the page, BobbyNorfolk's stories are always fun and full of life. From his antics as a 3-year old Superman to his experiences as a civil rights activist, it's interesting to see how stories have shaped his life, interests and pursuits.
-- Susan O Connor, festival director, National Storytelling Festival (USA)
