Memories of Yesteryears

About the Book

The early morning rain had stopped and a cool mist shrouded the lonesome mountainside.

I stood quietly and watched a lone eagle soar above, looking for an unsuspecting prey hidden in the overgrown weeds in the long neglected fields. I had stayed away too long, now, I wanted to return to the source of my childhood.
