Jerry Harju, Author: Our World was in Black & White

Have you ever experienced the utter panic of being trapped inside a 1940's snowsuit? Jerry Harju has. How about repelling a home invasion with your bare hands? He's done that too. Our World was in Black & White takes the reader on a rollicking trip down memory lane, recounting the thrill of wallpapering, the origin of nicknames, explaining dumb liquor laws, a tale of the doghouse that ate Southern California, and Harju's very last deer hunt.
