Not only is it appealing to readers who grew up in the post-Pearl Harbor era, this book touches the soul of readers from all generations. About a dysfunctional family raised by a strong grandmother, this book is truly touching! Topics range from alcoholism to love to death, and leave the reader yearning for more! I look forward to seeing more from the author and reading more about this family, both comical and heart-wrenching.

It is one of those books that when you start reading you can't put it down. Your living life with the author as he takes you into what it was like growing up in Duluth in a family that was just a little different. At times I had tears of joy, other times tears of anger, and still other times, tears of sadness. I would say the book is a cross between "Angela's Ashes" and "Tuesdays With Morrie". Both books that I rate as some of the best I have ever read.I think it is a must read for anyone who grew up in the 50's, 60's, or 70's with a brother(s) and or sister(s) right around the same age. You get an idea of just how simple life was for you and your sibling while at the same time, just how serious it was. It was obvious to me that the author really put emotion into each page, and you could feel his emotions right with him as you read. It's the type of book that I did not want it to end. After reading it, there will be a number of people mentioned and described in the book that you will wish you had the opportunity to meet. Excellent!!!

My most enjoyable reading was about the exploits of Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn, Penrod and the various heroes of Horatio Alger. Robert J. Morgan's amusing autobiography, 'Goodbye, Geraldine' brought me the same mellow feelings experienced some 60 years ago. It is warmhearted without being overly sentimental. Some of the characters that touch the author's life seem worthy of being principal subjects in other books that I hope Mr. Morgan might write. 'Goodbye, Geraldine' is a very personal offering, written with honesty, humility and a generous sprinkle of humor. Its timing couldn't be better as so many of us seem to be re-evaluating what is important in our lives.
