Life In The Sunset
Author: Ron Jones

ABOUT THE BOOK Life in the Sunset is a memoir told through my eye as a child growing up in the Sunset District of San Francisco in the 1950's. It's a story about trying to fit in.How to be a part of the 'in' group. Or outside looking in. To witness the truth in murder and a dream that will never fl. To feel humiliation and pain while rejoicing ... more »in a full moon that never changes. Face the Consequences of a bra that can't be unfastened and Insect Lady. Survive the epic struggle of Snow White vs. God and a 'Sun Flower Yellow' kitchen. Most important of all, this is a story about the place I call home. The family and friends that became my Life In The Sunset. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ron Jones is a native San Franciscan. He shares his Haight Ashbury home with his wife, daughter, grandchildren and a peaceful garden. He is a graduate of Stanford University masters degree program in education. Upon retirement from the Janet Pomeroy Center, where he taught theater and sports to the physically and mentally disabled for 30 years, he now enjoys writing and performing as a spoken word artist.
