Memories from Childhood

At age four, Debra did what many teenagers had never even dreamed of. His family and other onlookers could not contain themselves. Those who know how to yelp started screaming, whereas the brave ones held their breath waiting for the scary happening to come to an end. Had anything fatal happened to him, the driver could have been in serious trouble. Because he left his car engine on with the key in it’s slot when kids were hovering around the scene.


Memories from Childhood is a story about Debra, a gifted child, who was tagged evil, troublesome and stubborn. This is because he had “different perspectives and behavioral choices”. The stories about his three friends, grandfather, run-away father, and other characters make the book very interesting.
