Abstract

My father, Henry Reed, grew up in a small town in upper state New York where the sleepy hills turn orange and gold in the fall, where a man wearing white brings milk in bottles every morning to each door step, and where the church bells of the old Baptist Church are heard clearly every hour of the day. Fabius, New York is a wonderful town of only two hundred people. Every time I visited Fabius I felt as if I had traveled back in time when life was more simple and in many ways more enchanting. This is what I wanted to research, capture, and preserve in a collection of short stories based on my grandfather and my father.
