Author Lynn Davis's New Book "A Frog Hollow Childhood: A Memoir of Hartford" is an Evocative Reflection on her Formative Years in World War II-Era and Postwar Connecticut
Recent release "A Frog Hollow Childhood: A Memoir of Hartford" from Page Publishing author Lynn Davis offers a nostalgic snapshot of her childhood in the Frog Hollow section of Hartford, Connecticut, in a bygone era when door-to-door ice and coal salesmen were frequent visitors to their neighborhood.
CLINTON, Conn., Aug. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lynn Davis, a retired writer, educator, and college administrator who, apart from a decade living and working in the Middle East and Europe, has called Connecticut home for most of her life, has completed her new book "A Frog Hollow Childhood: A Memoir of Hartford": a heartwarming autobiography of the author's early years in a close-knit Connecticut neighborhood.
Once upon a simpler time, a child's fun included an intense interaction within their environment, whether on a bus to a beach, swimming lessons in a city pool, or working tobacco fields. Interaction was also between machinery and the processes that made things function such as an icebox, iron furnace, clothesline, or oil jug. She writes of a time before technology took over and computers did all the work. The author recreates with her narrative and photographs a nostalgic reminiscence of those earlier decades for all who grew up in them and introduces the times to those who didn't. She recalls the years when life and living was hands on, when youngsters played and worked hard being part of life's assembly line. Today's children can switch on or plug in to make things function, but the fun is gone and with it, the knowledge of how things work.
Lynn lived the first forty-six years of her life in the Frog Hollow section of Hartford, Connecticut. It was growing up in the Frog Hollow during the 1940s and 1950s that is the inspiration for her memoir of childhood during those years.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Lynn Davis's book is a nostalgic reflection on the author's delightful childhood in her home state of Connecticut.
