— Dr. Philip Thorn
Is memory fossilized — or living? Welcome to Plymouth, Pennsylvania, in the idyllic 1950s, as reflected through the aging eyes of Ernest, the young boy main character, along with many other characters who make Plymouth the quirky small coal mining town it is.
Memories visit, Ernest suggests, sometimes summoned, sometimes unsummoned, but all embraced in our beings like in amber. In this book climb mountains, attend weddings, have your first drink, and survive attacks human and animal, but most of all know what it is to grow-up in a small town. What is fiction; what is fact? Is it a novel or is it a memoir? Discover for yourself as you read about the life and lives of Plymouth in this book that will captivate and enthrall, Plymouth in Amber: A Novel Memoir.
