We saved things for him. My sister Patti saved whatever she could hold in her palmrocks, pennies, bottle caps. With the pennies she planned to save enough to buy a plane ticket to go see him. How many pennies would it take? Photographs, report cards, jokes, songs, stories, we even saved Christmas. Long after my mother took down the tree, his gifts sat in the corner of the living room.A beautifully crafted memoir from acclaimed author Kathi AppeltTold in a series of eloquent prose poems, My Father's Summers is Kathi Appelt's memoir of comingofage in Houston, Texas. Without a wasted word, she recalls her faraway father, who is first halfway across the world in Arabia and then across town living a new life. For Kathi and her sisters, there are unknown stepbrothers, a stepmother who drinks gin and tonic for breakfast, and a painful awareness of their mother's loneliness.By turns heartbreaking and achingly funnythrough first kisses, best friends, accidental shootings, and all manner of petsthese poignant remembrances communicate the disappointment and the delight of growing up in a loving, imperfect family.
