Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

This review is from: Secrets of the Heart (Paperback)

This is a wonderful quick-read that melds authentic history of the 30s to the present intertwined with personal stories that definitely touch the heart. I loved how Madlyn included music of the times with Meggie's recollection of her intimate experiences with her family and friends. I could relate to her joy and pain.


If you have lived during this time in the Metrowest region of MA (or I think any home town in the USA), you will undoubtedly be pleasantly surprised as your memory is returned to your own experiences. It's like being in a holygram (spelling?) with the music playing in the background. I felt such a surge of emotions with each story.
When you get to know "Meggie", you will feel like you've always known her.

This book made me reconnect with friends I had lost track of through the years and now my life is richer for it.
