The Field is a coming of age story about a group of boys who lived in a neighborhood in a small-town in West Virginia. This nostalgia piece is set in 1971 and is based on real-life events. The boys celebrate the glorious summer that year as they romp, play, laugh and love. This little tale is full of laughter, excitement, and wonder, and is seen through the eyes of the author. The Field was a vacant lot in the neighborhood that served as the host of many activities for the neighborhood children and became a truly special place in their eyes. The Field will call back memories for anyone old enough to remember life when kids played outside and people sat on their porches, long before the days of the internet and cell phones. Read about the adventures of these youngsters and the fun they had together, the bond they formed, and how the events of those times still calls them home today, decades after they played at a magical place they called The Field.
