Hillbillies By Michael A. Turner This is a collection of stories about growing up in the Ozarks and the special bond that exists among hill people and their way of life, a place where stories are told, some true and some not so true, with a little B.S. thrown in for good measure. It explains what happens when young cousins, combined in uncontrolled and unsupervised antics, were given unfettered access to heavy farm equipment and various farm animals. It explains how farm kids can entertain themselves using the resources around them with unbridled imagination. These episodes helped relieve the stress of trying to survive with few resources and little money. The book recounts the author's first taste of hillbilly life. The reader joins the author as a young adult living in an old German village where consumption of beer daily was considered a normal way of life. It was just their little way of being social. Many of these bizarre episodes are a result of a little too much sociability. Later, after the author was retired and widowed, his reentry into a new social world was affected still by his hillbilly roots. This book is mostly humorous with a few doses of the harsh reality of county living that rural people will understand and that urban people should know about.
