More than 40 percent of Americans have some grey hair by their fortieth birthday, but grey hairs can appear as early as the teens and twenties for some, or even in childhood.

A change in hair color typically occurs naturally as people age, usually turning their hair from its natural color to grey, then to white.

Remember the terror of the sullen teacher glaring down at you when you were in elementary school? Sophia Zufa writes with cinematic clarity about the daily crisis within the classroom of a Catholic school, presenting wonderful miniatures of childhood colleagues that we immediately recognize. Remember when Peter told Father Thaddeus that Columbus parted the Red Sea and George Washington discovered America? Remember the harrowing experience of First Confession, as we awaited the Final Judgment for our petty sins and the banal repetitions of three Hail Mary's and three Our Father's for our Penance? In math, we learned that two plus two is equal to four, but in catechism, we multiplied the venial to get a mortal sin.

Through the eyes of a child, we experience the griefs and trials of Small Town, America
about the time of the Great Depression. In illness and during outbreaks of epidemics, the country doctor is our loyal friend, understanding the proper use of medicinal leeches to cleanse blood of impurities, we witness grandma miraculously cured.

Louis Gopnik and Leonard Bazant are always in trouble for one thing or another and sent to the principal's office for due punishment administered by Sister Misercordia, aka Stalin. When Louis Gopnik fell in love, he got the hiccups for the entire morning.
Like the famed man of La Mancha, he took to tilting windmills and bloodied his nose while trying to impress his lady-love by climbing a fence. His Dulcinea was no beauty, but that didn't damp his ardor as he entered adolescence although she increased in weight with age.


Memories take wing as we turn the pages of the book like moths flown from the opened closet of our minds. Humorous, light, nostalgic; but never saccharine, Zufa skilfully colors the miniature portraits with shadows of the past, painting eyes with sorrow and laughter. An excellent read, reminiscent of Saroyan's, My name is Aram with the poignant intimacy of Anais Nin's, Under a Glass Jar.
