In his heartfelt debut, Remember When: A Boy’s Tribute to His Lower Middle Class Family, Stephen McKinley Simpson invites readers to step back into a time when life was simpler, laughter was louder, and family was everything.
Through a collection of nostalgic, honest, and often humorous stories, Simpson paints a vivid picture of growing up in the seventies and eighties, an era before the world became complicated. His writing captures the warmth, grit, and imperfect beauty of blue collar family life, while reminding readers to treasure the stories that shape who we are.
Remember When is more than a personal memoir. It is a love letter to the working class families who made the most of what they had and built a lifetime of memories from it. With touches of sarcasm and self deprecating humor, Simpson’s storytelling celebrates the resilience and heart of everyday people who found meaning in the small moments.
“I grew up in a family of storytellers,” Simpson shares. “My parents and my Uncle Joe had a way of turning even the simplest moments into something special. One day, I realized those remember when stories were not being told as often anymore, and that is when this book was born.”
At its core, Remember When is about gratitude for the people who raised us, the moments that molded us, and the laughter that carried us through. It reminds readers to look back with thankfulness, to cherish their roots, and to keep telling their own stories for generations to come.
This touching debut resonating with anyone who has ever looked back and smiled at the way things used to be.
