A Brief History of Friendship - LOUIS EDWARD S.

Friendship has often taken a back seat to romance, adventure, courage, and other virtues in literature, yet true friendship is central to our ability to live full and happy lives. These twelve stories focus on a group of neighborhood children who come together to save their beloved park-forming deep, lifelong friendships that will endure into adulthood.

While these stories offer insight into many aspects of friendship, they also explore-and in many ways define-what it means to grow up in small town America. The opportunities offered by life in the "big city" have always been a powerful attraction to some-yet small town living continues to remain a viable and desirable option for others.

A Brief History of Friendship offers insight into many aspects of friendship, through its trials and tribulations, with different narrators expressing alternative points of view. Above all, these stories are designed to entertain.

Welcome to Harmon Falls-population 6,745-where you'll smile a lot and cry a little as you enjoy getting to know these kids making their way in an increasingly complicated, confused, and disjointed world.
