Author writes about childhood on Macomb farm

Posted

MACOMB -- Long Island author Jonathan T. Jefferson, who spent his childhood summers on a Macomb farm, has written a memoir about his experiences in the St. Lawrence County countryside.

Jefferson was one of eight children in a working class African American family from Queens who bought an old farmhouse in Macomb’s dairy country as a summer home in the 1970s.

“Echoes from the Farm” are Jefferson’s memoirs from one dozen summers spent there.

Memories that forever altered the way one young boy viewed the world, writes Jefferson. Friends as earthy as Huckleberry Finn guided a city boy beyond his fears, and to a foundation of confidence that benefits him to this day, says the author.

Jefferson is a nonfiction writer and education commentator who taught in public schools for several years before he became a school district administrator.
