Family Historical Legacy, June 7, 2005
This review is from: A will of my own: Loving life with F. William "Bill" Broome (Hardcover)
For those interested in heritage and the history lessons that are passed by mouth through family gatherings, A Will of My Own, the memoirs of F. William "Bill" Broome, is the book for you. Historical events of the twentieth century as lived through the common American family are brought to perspective and given relevance beyond textbook statements. Events include the great Depression and World War II.
Broome captures legacies of the old South from his native Georgia. His wit and humor stir the events of his outlined life from early childhood to senior citizen. The memoirs are mostly reflections, and circulate around personal life in the midst of deep political changes. They are at times dry and drawn out, but would be fully appreciated by any family member.
