Summary

Written by a father and his two young sons, When Our Home Had Porches is a historical review of the times when our communities were very different. It was an era when there were two parents and/ or extended family members in practically every home. A time when there were no drugs, no gangs (as we know them today), no drive-by-shootings and no security officers and metal detectors in our schools. It was a time when it was illegal to buy beer or wine on Sunday, a time when there were no PG- or R-rated movies, and a time when citizens trusted God more and government less. This book will bring back a lot of fond memories for those who grew up during the times when our homes had porches.
