Every life has its twists and turns-but it's an exceptional soul who can transmute that winding road into a map of life lived, sparkling with wit and heart. My View of the World is a multi-genre journey from the sights and sounds of Southern Ohio to the fear and desolation of Vietnam, from everyday ironies of American life to the soul-deep triumphs and tragedies of a family that can trace its history to the turbulent days of the Civil War, and beyond. The sweet nostalgia of reminiscences about bygone days contrasts with the piquant flavor of wry observations on the modern world as Tom Breeden invites you to join his graceful path into the adventure of life's changing seasons. Poetic, insightful, funny, and warm, Tom is the companion you've been looking for, and this book is the conversation you can return to again and again.
