The everyday experiences that we all face are what makes us the same, yet at the same time, different. "Backyard Maine" is a collection of memoirs from Edgar Allen Beem discussing his adventures in life from his back porch in Maine. A far range of topics receive his wit and wisdom, jumping from underpants to the value of real estate. Creative, humorous, and poignant, "Backyard Maine" is something to consider for those who value the daily experiences of others.
