Have you ever wondered what children who had no cell phones, television, internet, or even a swimming pool did all summer? Meet Johnny B. Goode, a young boy growing up in a rural southern Mississippi community in the 1950s. Each chapter of this book relates some of the escapades a boy living in the country might instigate. There was no organized children's programs and very little crime, so a boy could roam the whole community as long as he could get there by walking or on his bike. The only times he had to check in were at the noon and evening meals. A boy in the country would invent ways to have fun, sometimes creative and other times downright dangerous. Enjoy the escapades of Johnny B. Goode in a little town called Union, Mississippi in the 1950s.

Autorenporträt
As a child living in Union, Mississippi, Johnny Neil Smith knows first-hand about the escapades of Johnny B. Goode, because he experienced them.

He is also the author of Hillcountry Warriors and Unconquered, as well as, with Susan Cruce Smith, Beyond His Mercy and Beyond the Storm, all from Sunstone Press.Johnny B. Goode is special because it is written for his children and grandchildren in an attempt to share with them and others the emotions from a time that is now long forgotten by most. Johnny Neil Smith is the storyteller, and his wife Susan is his editor. She, like him, is a retired educator.
