This companion memoir to Marshfield Dreams (2005) continues Fletcher's poignant, very brief episodes from a (mostly) carefree upbringing as the oldest of nine kids. Fans of the author will recognize seeds of later work as Fletcher sensitively captures the pivotal tenuousness between adolescence and adulthood. An epilogue discusses how, a few years after these memories, the sudden death of his brother sifted life into "Before and After."
