Uncharted Waters

Life was much simpler before cell phones and computers. This is a story of three children who grew up in Southern California in the 1950's, when television was the newest invention and was just beginning to shape the way we think. Ours was a good life, in a world far different from today where our uncharted journey still held all the promise of youth.
