We Grew Up Anyway
Beau Merrick, author
Life in the suburbs of the typical Midwestern city of Saint Louis seemed to follow the benign stories which were read in schools and the Norman Rockwell paintings which lined the quaint, boring walls and hallways of homes everywhere. America in the Cold War era of the early 1960’s was laid-back and content, with social struggles all but gone from the landscape. At least, that was the way it seemed on the surface. But, just out of reach, just past the corner of our eye, lurking in the shadows of our collective consciousness was the antithesis to Norman Rockwell. We Grew Up Anyway chronicles the Holt family and their own, private hell lurking in the shadows. After decades of secrets and deeply buried memories, one son in the family has his world come crashing around him as he discovers these secrets and memories. What he does shocks all those around him, and as he tries to bring his family back from the brink of emotional suicide, the question arises: Is he actually harming the family even more?
