MUSTER

Muster is a heartfelt, humorous memoir that brings to life the joys and challenges of growing up in mid-20th century rural Tennessee. Set in the once-thriving strawberry hub of Portland, this vivid collection of personal stories captures the essence of a small-town boyhood shaped by family, faith, farming—and a father’s early morning call to arms: “MUSTER!” Told with charm, grit, and a touch of mischief, the author reflects on a childhood spent among six older brothers, in a home where laughter, hard work, and hand-me-down wisdom were everyday staples. From snow days spent under warm covers listening to the radio, to summers tending strawberry fields, these stories transport readers to a simpler time when neighbors knew each other, carbide lights lit the night, and breakfast wasn’t served until all the boys were accounted for. With a storyteller’s wit and an eye for the nostalgic detail, Muster pays tribute to the family traditions, small-town values, and unforgettable characters that shaped a life—and a generation. Whether you're from the South or simply love a good slice of Americana, this memoir is a warm, rollicking invitation to laugh, remember, and reflect on what truly matters.
