When you are a child, it seems your imagination can go wild in transforming your normal home surroundings into something magical. Yet for author David Gamble Moore, his childhood home was a home of which dreams were made. That is the sentiment for his new autobiography, My Ninety-Acre World, describing growing up in the area now considered the Woods Bay State Park in South Carolina, which is also home to many types of plant life and several mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians. A typical day growing up in the natural, woodsy environment David called home included watching alligators and turtles sunning themselves in the lagoon, playing in an old, abandoned mill pit, and enjoying moments shared with friends, his big family, and even on field trips with his class and beloved agriculture teacher, Grady. David thought to write about the memories of his childhood after talking with his great granddaughter about what they had of electricity, running water, and entertainment when he was her age growing up in the 1940s. Her astonished face showed him how important it is to share not only with his family but readers as well of the amazing experiences he had back in the day. David also fondly writes about, and shares, his father's unique stories that seem to be more embellished with every telling, as well as how his playmates were of every color, education, and financial means in the segregated South. His childhood makes him appreciate what he learned to impart to others around him. My Ninety-Acre World is an endearing journey through countless memories of the author's childhood growing up when life was still innocent, natural, and filled with God. Even though he left the ninety-acre world at seventeen, the lessons and experiences he gained have only continued to shape David into who he is today.
