Wilbur Avenue by Steven Manchester
1978 Abby stays out of the way from her drunken father. Her mother Claire is degraded with not only his words but his actions.
Story goes back in time when things were easier, spring has arrived and it's so fresh.
All the kids on the street ride bikes together and visit with one's grandmother. Love the time they spend at the amusement park as we did the same, gather all the cousins in a car and head there for the day, bringing our own picnic lunches.
My older brothers would watch out for me in the haunted house because i did not see well at all.
As time goes on and abuse hits the home front and back then there was nothing one could do...others would keep an extra eye out for those in harm’s way.
Separating from loved ones is always hard, but your first love is special.
Received this review copy from the author and this is my honest opinion.
