Butterflies Are Free, I hope, will give you a glimpse of what it was like growing up in a small mid-western town in the 40s' and 50s' and the mindset that environment created. Life was simpler. Everyone knew everybody else, and where the highlight of a summers' evening was catching fireflies to light up your bedroom; as you safely and securely slumbered through the night.
