Birch Creek Road is a beguiling portrayal of a young boy’s life whose formative years prevailed throughout the throes of America’s Great Depression. It begins in a New York City tenement on a bitterly cold day in January when a chuckling midwife assists in the delivery of a screaming infant sporting a remarkable erection.
Early in his young life, his mother contracts an incurable lung ailment. In order to provide her with the medically recommended abundance of fresh air and sunshine, the family relocates to a village in the Catskill Mountains.
The story continues with the growing child’s adolescence. Coping with the rigorous demands of country living, he develops a maturity well beyond his years. With the passing of his mother, the house they shared lost its sense of joy and homeliness. In an attempt to convert its drab surroundings once again into a happy home, a young widow is engaged to serve as a live-in housekeeper.
The author reveals sensuous details of his sexual indoctrination, glimpses of his life while evolving into adulthood, accounts of his acceptance into the U. S. Navy during America’s Great Depression, and, as a commissioned Submarine Officer, vivid accounts of underwater battles against a determined enemy during our war with the Japanese.
