Montana Memories: Who I Would Be
Montana Memories: Who would I Be is a story of Jim Borgford-Parnell as he looks back on his confusing and hard childhood in the 1950s and 60s in Montana. He grew up in an atmosphere ruled by men, orthodox religious affairs, and silent family pains. He learned the lesson that showing feelings could be interpreted as a sign of weakness and could be dangerous. Drinking, fighting, and showing his manliness became his pastime. A way to survive. But beneath this side of him is a deeper struggle. Jim begins to question the beliefs he was taught about strength, faith, and the concept of manliness. With honesty and understanding, he faces his past and asks hard questions about his reality. His identity. This memoir is about choosing who you want to become. It explores how a young boy shaped by his culture and experiences grew into a man who dared to question it.
