About the Book

If you are not familiar with the old phrase, fair to middlin, ' it was your grandmother's way of saying something was, 'Just ok.' 'The Days of 'Fair to Middlin' is a collection of short stories from a time when everyday families loved and hated, endured and survived and once in a blue moon, they even laughed. In the first story, 'Does This Make Me a Bad Mother?' you are introduced to Barbara, a young woman who gets pregnant because her jeans are too tight and maternity pants, not dieting seem to be the best solution. You will cringe with embarrassment as she tells her story with the unabashed sarcasm and honesty that only an imperfect mother would dare. 'A Picture of My Past, ' is a heartbreaking story of a long-ago Easter Sunday, an old photograph and a drunken and abusive father. Seen through the eyes of a child in the 1950's this story will take you back to a time when the father ruled the house, the mother obeyed and the children thought themselves lucky if they were only whipped instead of beaten. 'The Man on the Stairs, ' is based on the true story of a young family that shortly after moving in, discovers their new house is haunted by a ghost named Willie and 'My Dearest Darling Mother' is an inspiring story taken from the actual POW letters of a young American soldier that he writes home while being held captive in a North Korean Prisoner of War camp. On the lighter side, 'The Last Thanksgiving, ' is a fun and hilarious story about a mother-in-law that comes to help and a daughter-in-law's worst nightmare. Yes, we've all been there, a frozen turkey, a burned ham and even a missing Bohemian Granny! And finally, 'An Heirloom Family Christmas, ' tells the story of a crazy and sadly dysfunctional family that somehow manages to pass their jealousy and hatred down from one generation to the next, each Christmas. I hope you find laughter and not too many tears as you go back with me, to the 'Days of Fair to Middlin.' Odell Larkin
