Shady Grove Gang: A memoir
7 parts Ongoing MatureMy teen life memoir from 2010-2013, filled with obsession, crushes, revenge, jealousy and heart aching moments of love and more.. that still haunt me in my dreams and memories today as an adult.
Mom & the neighborhood kids called us, Shady Grove Gang. Kids who weren't out in the streets with us on the regular, said we looked like a gang riding our bikes down the biggest hill on our block. That's when I thought, "You're right, that's us. We have each other's backs like that."
A memoir based on the true story of my teenage life.
We all have memories with strangers who we may have called friends at some point.. these are memories that haunt me in the dark, in daydreams and in my night dreams. Ghosts of a past I always thought would last somewhat longer than it did.
Shady Grove was a street I grew up in around 2010-2019 and only 2010-2012 (some of 2013) were the best years living on that street. That was when I was 13-early 20s but the best happened during my 15-17 age period. There were many kids in the neighborhood and we all got into things we shouldn't have, we were never alone.. always with each other one way or another.
