Looking back searching for lost times growing up on Milwaukee's South Side during the 1930s and 1940s, the author shares events from his childhood and beyond that contributed to his understanding of himself.In this significantly revised and expanded edition, A Stirring of the Air, a Shifting of the Light, also celebrates members of his extended family, childhood friends, and others who played memorable roles in his life.In "A Stirring of the Air, the author explores his father's side of the family, showing how various relatives influenced his relationship with his father and his son and how this side of the extended family directly shaped his attitudes, responses, and interactions with others."A Shifting of the Light" recalls Margaret and her children and the rich heritage of his grandmother's European family immigrating to America at the start of the last century and shares how their deep, abiding love often unexpressed influenced his own perceptions during his developmental years.Through these search of lost times, the author seeks to preserve memories of moments that have made the author who he is but should also have meaning for anyone seeking a bridge to the past and how those lost times might contribute to an understanding of self as it did for him."Vivid, emotive writing that opens a doorway to a bygone era, this is the work of an acutely observant, perspicacious writer who captures with equal vigor the hubbub of South Side street life and the volatility of family dynamics existing behind closed doors." - Kirkus Review
