What makes a life unforgettable? Is it the moments everyone sees, or the ones we quietly carry alone? This is the story of a boy raised in the shadow of war, shaped by small towns, hard lessons, and the people who loved him in their own imperfect ways. A story of dirt-court basketball dreams, long workdays, unexpected friendships, and the kind of memories that stay with you whether you want them to or not.
This book made me recall my childhood stories that I had forgotten. Tom is an honest writer, but he writes in such a manner that he is addressing me. And a lovely life is one to share with love.
I did not think that a memoir would grab me so much in such a short period of time. Every chapter felt alive. Ordinary situations were significant teachings. I continued to think that this might be my family as well. Truly unforgettable.
Tom takes hold of the silent struggles and little triumphs of life in a manner that is memorable. His narration is soft and deep. I put the book back, used to feeling understood.
When I read, I kept muttering, I remember this feeling. The cities, the schools, the inhabitants, all seemed genuine and familiar. It transported me to a world that I believed I had lost.
The days of ordinariness make me feel a sense of strength through this memoir. The life of Tom is rich in humor, grit, and wisdom. I was not anticipating being touched, but I was. Highly recommended.
