Peculiarly Yours is an adventurous, humorous history, punctuated with the dynamics of family relationships, school experiences, vacations and entry into early adulthood, employment and marriage. Placed in the setting of a small upper Midwestern town, the author's life is touched both by elements of sweeping proportion-the Great Depression and World II-as well as family, faith, and the challenges of childhood and adolescence in a religiously strict home environment.

Peculiarly Yours will invite you into some of the innermost rooms of the soul as the author writes of internal conflicts, loss, and faith in the midst of troubling times and parental efforts to shape identity and character. This is a fast-paced personal history of life, death, comical mishaps, romance and maturation sketched against the backdrop of the 1930s and 1940s on the northern plains.
