Gordon Braun, The Boy From a Town That Isn't Even a Town

Gordon Braun charms his readers with tales of adventure, adversity and heartache in this "cute, poignant, funny" coming of age memoir. Welcome to Shoreline, a town that isn't even a town. It's 1968—the year a thirteen-year-old Seattle Times paperboy discovers a talent that changes the trajectory of his life. It's the year "the world got smaller; danger suddenly less abstract."

The Boy From a Town That Isn't Even a Town is Gordon Braun's first published work. He attended Cromwell Park Elementary, Cordell Hull Junior High, and Shoreline High School in his hometown of Shoreline, Washington. After a record-setting track and cross-country career as a schoolboy, he was rewarded with an athletic scholarship to the University of Washington where he earned undergraduate and graduate degrees. Gordon is a retired business executive, consultant, teacher, and coach. He lives in Bellingham with his wife, Carrie Gaasland.
