Mason Woods

This book captures a brief time in our history that in my mind may never occur again. It is possible that other children during this time period experienced similar lives of excitement and innocence. And to those who have lived through similar experiences, this book will bring back many memories. This book is a work in creative non-fiction. Mason Woods is about the bond of friendship that developed between three young boys Boo, Johnny and Phil at a time in America when family and dependency on friendship was very important. It was a time when the advanced technologies were the radio, the automobile and the movies. The aspirations of every parent were basically the same as those today and that is to see their children succeed by entering establishments of higher learning and finding their niche in society. Education was of prime importance to all growing up during this time. Mason Woods tells of the hardships encountered by the people who chose to immigrate to The United States from the poverty stricken areas of Europe. It is based on fact as told to the author by the people who lived through and experienced the hardships of coming to a new land, their chosen land, The United States of America.
