Anchors and Arrows: A Memoir of Seven Decades

About the Book

Anchors and Arrows: A Memoir of Seven Decades follows the author through the ordinary stations of life, including coming of age, marriage, parenting, disability, and loss. This brief account of an essentially happy life, which moves from a background of urban living to a rural outpost in southern Vermont, is festooned with adventures, humor, and derived wisdom. Halfway up the Mountain is a colorful account of a backpacking excursion on Vermont’s Long Trail, in which a middle-aged couple, conducted by their two young adult offspring, are led through triumphs and defeats, mud traps, and slippery slopes before returning to the stodgy respectability of middle-class living.
