Life on Bramble Road is the first in a series of books called Bramble Days. Set in 1950, Life on Bramble Road is a slice of life reflecting the day to day memories of Alex Sonnes as he looks back at a year of changes that would greatly effect his life and that of friends and family on Bramble Road. It was a time of sharing, when people gathered to celebrate life both in good times and sad. America was changing, new ways were beginning, but some of the old ways still seemed to promise to live on forever.
