The Son of a Boilermaker

"The Son of a Boilermaker," revisits the decades that bracket World War II. The focus is upon the large and small triumphs and disasters as seen through the eyes of a boy and young man seeking his own identity. Feel again the vibrancy and pulse of small industrial towns that were once the heart of our country. Get to know "The Son of a Boilermaker," as he freezes in time the gritty essence of blue collar America. With off-beat humor and an underlying pathos, Twyford transports the reader to an era of honest simplicity, never to be repeated in the american experience.

Tom Twyford retired in 2007 after 42 years in the private practice of law. He is a graduate of Ohio State University and served as a commissioned officer in the U. S. Army. He feels that his work in the military and law, as well as wide variety of other experiences, gives him an insight on the human condition and reflects a funny, plainspoken writing style. Twyford lives in Ohio with his wife and his black Labrador retriever Amazing Grace.
