Publisher Description
There's no way of knowing the direction my life might have taken had I not stepped onto a trampoline on my Black Friday after Thanksgiving, 1960.
Or
If I hadn't stopped by my sister's house on that Spring day when the girl in the fuzzy pink sweater and tight beige jeans was there.
Would I even be the person I think I am?
Who knows? Not me.
Our lives are full of forks in roads.
Often not aware that one simple turn ––– a few seconds –––an unlaced shoe, could change everything.
And then there are the forks taken by those before us.
The big ones as well as those that appear inconsequential.
If my grandmother had married the stonecutter.
If my Grandfather didn't survive the cave in.
If my father hadn't ordered chopped chicken-liver from
the cute waitress at that restaurant.

Great read
Believe it or not I went to Norwood elementary school where Mr. Stasiuk worked as stated in the book. My best friend and older brother had the pleasure of having him as their fourth grade teacher. I had Mr. Wood. However, I still managed to get to know the teacher who threw ice cream parties with giant bowls and spoons. When I heard he wrote a book I had to read it. It was so cool hearing about the history of Long Island, Ms Caravetta, and just short stories of an awesome life. Super excited to tell my friends about the book and so glad he wrote it. The entire time reading this book I had a smile on my face from ear to ear and my girlfriend can vouch for me.
