Loaded for Bear: Adventures and Misadventures from the Appalachians to the Chesa

<p><br></p><p>The stories in Loaded for Bear</em> are told through the voice of a male narrator. But he is a shape shifter, ranging in age from a boy to a retiree, and holding forth from each of the decades in between. </p><p><br></p><p>We encounter him, variously, as a city newspaper boy and as a farmette preteen; a Vietnam War draftee and a young father and groom-to-be; frightened son and a troubled veteran; a brother and bereaved lover; a divorced single father of adolescent girls, then grown daughters; a dutiful nephew and reluctant farmyard midwife; a colleague forced to interview a Palestinian immigrant for his Green Card certification. And once, apparently, as one of a circle of female cousins. </p><p><br></p><p>In each encounter, we find ourselves invited observers in alternative universes, as befuddled as the unwitting characters by the circumstances that enwrap them. </p><p><br></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> George Miller<br><b>Publisher:</b> New Bay Books LLC<br><b>Published:</b> 07/14/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 132<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.34lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.36d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9798988299820<p></p>
