✦ Synopsis

An engaging, often hilarious coming-of-age novel of uncertainty and discovery oozing with early 90s nostalgia.

"Funny and unpredictable...(Charles) proves impressively adept at capturing the inchoate ache of adolescent longing."
— Washington Post

It's 1992, and America is caught in the grip of major Angst. In Washington, D.C., George H. W. Bush is rattling the mother of all sabres at Saddam Hussein. In Seattle, Curt Kobain is heady with the smell of teen spirit. And in Kalamazoo, MI, Vim Sweeney is trying to put off adulthood and all that comes with it (whatever that is) as long as he can. He's already juggling guitars, girls, and graduation—and a biological father who Wants To Be Involved. And he still can't convince his friends why local schoolboy hero Derek Jeter is bound for obscurity. How can he possibly handle the future when he can't even cope with right now?

Grab Onto Me Tightly As If I Knew the Way traces Vim's stumble toward adulthood as he comes to terms with his parents, balances friendships and infatuation with varying levels of success, and accepts that the things he thought would last forever probably won't. Big-hearted and laugh-out-loud funny, it introduces an exciting and imaginative new writer who deftly captures the follies, foibles, and fun of adolescence for readers of every age.

When the notes were transcribed I submitted the paper to my father for approval or correction. He made little if any change, but requested me not to make use of it during his lifetime.

The cultivation of hydrastis**This article is written in the first person, and, by request of the editor, gives facts concerning Hydrastis culture as observed in my own experimentations, corroborated by others known to me personally. No attempt has therefore been made to embody the experiences of persons who have heretofore printed articles on the subject, nor have my own previous publications, or my own photographs and detail notes'been used at all, excepting briefly. The cuts, excepting those showing the Hydrastis farm of Dr. Homsher, are from Drugs and Medicines of North America, 1884, or from others of my previous prints on the subject. The object being to present the problem so as to save to others experimental wanderings, I must yet urge the reader who proposes to enter the field of Hydrastis culture, to study carefully the Bulletins issued OR this subject by the Agricultural Department of the United States Government, especially the admirable pamphlet of Miss Alice Henkel and G. Fred Klugh, of the Bweau of Plant Industry.-L.
