The Little Grownup

Born in 1964, Hans "Jeff" Borger made it in on the tail end of the baby boomers. "The Little Grownup" is a nostalgic look back at his Michigan boyhood. From growing up in Detroit to the subsequent move to the suburbs, Hans lovingly and humorously writes about his German immigrant parents and grandparents and his youth. School fads. His first job as a paperboy. Trips to the grandparents house. Dance and music lessons. Meeting his TV idol Desi Arnaz. Family vacations to Northern Michigan. Those creepy basements. And even a mention of the end of the American icon "the milk man." Never taking himself too seriously, Hans captures the spirit of growing up in the 1960s and 1970s with his delightful reminiscing. He may have been young then, but he always felt he was born "The Little Grownup."
