Doug and Mary Powell have three children, all married, and four
grandchildren giving a family circle of twelve. In this book we meet
seven of them. Two live in California but for the others this was
their first visit to America. We read about the people they met, the
places they visited, the laughs they had. It's a happy, relaxed story
with fascinating comparisons between the American and British ways
of life.
This all started as a private personal diary, a written record to
accompany the mountain of photos Mary took. Then Doug
wondered if the family might also like to read it. He showed what he
was doing to his cousin Maury, a retired newspaper editor, who
immediately saw the potential. "This is good stuff. It deserves a much
wider audience than just the family. Carry on writing, finish the draft,
then take it to a publisher."
So here it is.
