Enon Road was that mythical, mystical and seemingly sometimes magical place where a family of grandparents, sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, aunts and uncles and cousins lived during the 1960’s and 1970’s The Boys of Enon Road- in Transition is about those painful changes that they faced, transitions that we all face in life as we age. It is written from the perspective of a stubborn parent who does not want to cooperate with the final move to an elderly care facility. Ultimately this is a story about that one tough transition that must be made either to the nursing home or to the funeral home.

This is not an easy read in places. In fact, some might recommend that you not read it. However, if you are dealing with aging parents where you have tough decisions to make, something you read here may help you. If you have already been through that hard transition with your parents, you will understand this book because you have lived it. If you have not dealt with the emotion of those turbulent days, maybe this book will help you do just that. If you have aging parents and have not had to face any tough times with them you need to read this so you can start to prepare yourself for those days.

All of the major transitions of life are covered here, the transition from childhood to manhood including moving away from home, dating, marriage, having children, becoming empty nesters, being grandparents and, well, beyond that as already mentioned.

The Boys of Enon Road-in Transition is a fiction, but is written from the experience of similar times.
