The growing road was written in a series of short stories to give you the reader a more detailed historical path, a growing kid encounters in a wild environment, where survivability is in his hand and that of God. From witnessing tragic events to surviving the most amazing episodes any kid can endure leaving him with his heart-pounding many times. Regardless of the hard times, he learns his way; to make carbon from green wood in a primitive way, to make a primitive Molotov cocktail for use its illumination when he hunts for crabs or spelunking, to live out of the environment, the long working hours of a baker made him look for live action someplace else, but never forgetting his roots or his families' connection. The stories in the growing road are nonfiction; the writer experienced and lived in each of the stories. It shows that when there is no money to spare the human will seek a way to live out of the land, the environment and would do whatever is needed to make a penny.
