Reflection of a Hero Stan Yocum

Reflection of a Hero is a fictional story told from an older woman's perspective about her youth and, in particular, about a boy athlete she first met in grade school. She tells her story about the trials and tribulations of growing up and becoming a young adult. Her personal narrative follows her life from a thirteen-year-old eighth grader until she was in college. It's reminiscent of what all of us had to encounter, to some extent, as we grow older. The one unique slant in her case is the young athlete that she fell in love with. Her youthful age, unfortunately, didn't allow her to see the common thread that existed between them. The highlights of the story might bring back memories of your own past. There are some exciting, funny, and thrilling moments in her recollection, as well as somber times that were also part of her life. Follow her tale, and possibly you can sit back and remember . . . exactly what it was like!
