The author recalls what it was like to grow up as part of a small Jewish community in a New Hampshire mill town, but the book includes much more. Readers will meet, and perhaps recognize from their own lives, grandparents and other relatives from Eastern Europe; influential public school teachers; some public figures whom he has known, Julia Child among them; and a host of other fascinating people from New England and beyond, including a Hebrew-speaking Muslim from the Northern Caucasus Republic of Adygeya and a P.L.O. leader from Jericho in the West Bank. Originally written over several years for the Monadnock Ledger-Transcript of Peterborough, New Hampshire, these essays are united by the author's sense of irony and the unexpected. Steinfield's true stories will produce laughter, an occasional tear, and a reminder of the universality of life's experiences. Whether writing about a caring neighbor, an encounter with governmental bureaucracy, or the surprise endings that often occur in life, Steinfield has taken his storytelling skills and used them to recount a life well lived. Claremont Boy: My New Hampshire Roots and the Gift of Memory will resonate with readers everywhere.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Bauhan Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Claremont Boy: My New Hampshire Roots and the Gift of Memory | Joseph D Steinfield | Paperback | 9780872331730 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks B 1756978","offer_id":49149159440536,"sku":"1756978","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/715Wm4-F_AL.jpg?v=1779524711","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/claremont-boy-my-new-hampshire-roots-and-the-gift-of-memory","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
