My Perfect Life Except For The Crime And Terror is a work of 'slice of life' storytelling based largely on autobiographical content and tells the coming of age tale of its author Ron Goade. Growing up during World War 2 in Webb City, Missouri, he recounts the pivotal influences of both his mother and father, who approached the rearing of their son in very different ways. This leads us through different events as he journeys from boy to man and reveals a unique narrative experience that captures a part of history known to only a few. From schoolyard friends to the wider world, nostalgia and history spark from every page.
