Growing Up Cold

Growing Up Cold is a humorous, sometimes poignant, account of growing up in "St. Froid," a cold town with a warm heart, in 1950s Vermont, and enduring more than one kind of "Cold War." But more than that, it's about how a chubby, klutzy, un-cool Catholic girl grows to discover that while she was looking for cool in all the wrong places, it was right there at her fingertips, all along. This delightful, snow-booted and parka'd trek through the freezes and thaws of a nearly nine-month winter in the northern reaches of old New England is more than a guidebook to weathering roads so slick you needed a trunkload of kids to negotiate a hill. It's a trip down memory lane for those of us who enjoyed a strict but loving family, and anyone with a desire to visit a vanishing slice of Americana. Growing Up Cold. You can go home again.
