Secrets under the Bridge by Overton Shelmire (1994, Hardcover)

Description: Secrets Under the Bridge by Overton Shelmire (1994) Signed by Author Editorial Reviews Book Description A peak at the past through the eyes of Overton Shelmire in his autobiography is like a roller-coaster ride - full of thrills and bumps. What did the child psychiatrist say when he discovered the drinking problem of Overton's seven-year-old big brother, Bedford? How did Bedford persuade Overton to jump out a second-story window to test his new parachute? why did the boys' father raise rats, poison ivy plants, and alligators in their backyard? Why did the saleslady from Bestform Foundations come to fit Miss O. Shelmire for a brassiere? How did the boys get trapped aboard an ocean liner cruising in the backyard of a mysterious doctor? All is told in this entertaining family saga of love, friendship and adventure I Dallas during the 1930's and 40's. Like childhood, its most memorable moments combine elements of innocence and humor, fear, sexual awakening and understanding of injustice. This "modern-day Tom Sawyer" will appeal to parents and grandparents, mature people who can relate to that era, and a younger generation who face the same issues in their lives. Secret Under the Bridge will reach into each reader and touch that universal soul. Review: A Truly Wonderful Book!!! This book made me laugh and it made me cry! The childhood stories are so funny! And at the same time, the story is heartfelt and touching. My husband may read 1, perhaps 2 books a year, as English isn't his first language. It usually takes him a couple of months to get through a book. He couldn't put this book down and read it within a few days. We both highly recommend "Secrets Under the Bridge"! The book is in a good used condition. The dust cover is slightly discolored on the edges. · Please be serious about your bids. Checkout must be completed within 7 days of the close of auction.
