Growing up on the cul de sac

About the Book

Growing up on the cul de sac will insert you into the stories of people in the suburb as you uncover their lives while they grow, recalling your own existence. Some of the reading will invoke nostalgia, some will evoke laughter as you recall your youth and some will touch you in ways that are heart warming.

Essdale takes you onto the path of a boy and girl who must cope with the problems of youth, adjust to a world that no one can describe accurately and struggle to overcome the obstacles that we all meet on the road of life. It is also about parenting, coping with conflict and problem solving.
