My brother has been writing to me for most of his adult life. In that time, he has faced on a daily basis, the fear that haunts many of us occasionally. Am I losing my mind? It is psychological truth that we will think whatever we need to think in order to have the world make sense. The challenge is in coordinating what we think with what is actually happening. This is what we call coping with reality. Over the course of the 33 years and thousands of letters to me, despite enduring often very difficult circumstances, my brother never blamed anyone else ... in fact, for the most part, he is nothing but positive. So many, in his situation, find abundant targets for blame. Nor does he fall victim to depression, for the most part. He seems to understand his life depends on his optimism. I produced this book in order to share Jim's courage, his humor, his insight and his overflowing faith in human nature.

A “hilarious” memoir of the author’s terrible, and wonderful, summer at a Maine sleepaway camp in 1974 (The Wall Street Journal). For eight unforgettable weeks at Camp Kin-a-Hurra, thirteen-year-old Mindy Schneider and her eccentric band of friends—including Autumn Evening Schwartz, the daughter of hippies, who communicates with the dead, and the sleep-dancing bibliophile Betty Gilbert—keep busy feuding in color wars, failing at sports, and uncovering their camp’s hidden past. As Mindy focuses on landing the perfect boyfriend and longs for her first kiss, she unexpectedly stumbles across something infinitely grander: herself. “Set in what now seems an almost impossibly innocent time, the 1970s, this sweet tale takes a nostalgic look back at the experience of attending sleepaway camp through the eyes of a 13-year-old Jewish girl . . . Schneider succeeds in provoking gentle flashbacks to a simpler shared time of teenage angst and hormone surges, before cable television, all recalled in a humorous tone.” —Publishers Weekly “Charming and hilarious . . . Captures both the awkwardness and the magic of that age.” —Jen Lancaster
