Review Quotes:
"The Town I Crow About is an autobiography that leaves you feeling as if you've spent the afternoon sitting on a front porch listening to your grandpa share his life with you. Reading it feels entirely different from looking at a standard historical document because the focus stays on real, human moments...This book is a beautiful reminder of how local memories shape our understanding of the past. Very highly recommended."
-Tanya Kays for Readers' Favorite
"A poignant look at life, blending past and present, happiness and sadness. The stories that Patrick wrote with her father, Raymond Hills, examine a tiny New Jersey village. But the themes in those stories are universal."
