Author Description

In the Sunlight of Distant Days by James E. Mathews provides the reader with the perspective and insight of a child from a different era. Recalled with remarkable clarity and related by the author, now in his eighties, these stories and impressions from the first ten years of his life trace the development of his character, noting in particular the enduring influences of various family members and the local culture of the northern Minnesota/North Dakota border town where he lived, as well as the conditions imposed on a child born during the Great Depression. The memoir brings to light yesterday remembered.
