Reseña del libro "Tales from the Corner Service Station (en Inglés)"

Tales from the Corner Service Station is about a small, rural agricultural community, which was similar to many towns in our country after WWI, The Great Depression and WWII. The stories told at the service station about the lives of the local people were a reflection of the time when our nation was recovering from near financial collapse. It was a period in our history when the major media was radio. Local news was found on the radio or in the weekly newspaper, since television was not yet the popular spectrum that it is today. Homes were not yet modernized and air-conditioning was like television, basically, non-existent in the area. This promoted porch gatherings and the exchange of daily stories about life and the day-to-day trials, with few successes being found in the stories. People found more time to visit in those less hectic days. Hard times and economic limitations bound the folks together as they saw first hand Roosevelt 's New Deal unfold and Big Government become more involved in the lives of the individual. Many of these changes were welcome and some not, as times shaped and honed the individual's spirit that made it possible to survive. This book is a collection of stories lived and told by people linked together by a proud and colorful heritage, which bound them together and created a brotherhood often referred to as Southern hospitality. These stories share the goodness of men and their ability to succeed when things looked impossible.
