He has lived in the Northwestern part of the United States for all of his sixty-five years. Watching his grandchildren grow and live lives very different from his has renewed his appreciation of his own childhood and the experiences he has recorded in "Apple Box Boy." His grandson, Skylar, still thinks Grandpa is pulling his leg when he tells his stories about growing up in the Yakima Valley of Washington State. It's a book about freedom, adventure, and character development of days gone by.
James gave his life to his heart when he was a boy and values the paths he has walked and the people who shared those paths with him.
"Apple Box Boy" is James' second publication. "How Did You Find Me" was released several years ago and shares the struggles experienced when Alzheimer's strikes a family.
James lives with his wife, Suzanne, on the campus of Catlin Gabel School in Portland, Oregon. They are the school's Caretakers. They also fill their days caring for their seven-month-old grandson, Parker.lihat lebih sedikit
