The High Sky of Winters Shadows by W. Jack Savage is a collection of thoughts, reminiscences, eyewitness accounts and random opinions gleaned from journals, various notebook entries, graduate school projects, letters and at least two previous attempts at putting together a compilation such as this. They represent first person accounts spanning more than six decades through the eyes of one baby boomer. Told in essays of four-hundred words or less, Savage holds his bias as one whose eyes remained open through it all. However, this is also an exercise in soul searching as by his own account Jacks extraordinary memory offers a reminder that peering into the past can be a two-edged sword. While it may at times be painful, it may also provide valuable lessons that may re-color our first impressions. In the end however, it is the memories of a lifetime: of struggling through school, trouble at home, service in Vietnam and a career in radio of over thirty years; of little snapshots of life and crossroads remembered; of marriage, parenthood, acting, disappointment and the determination to share his stories in the hope that someone may find a sliver of light in the midst of their struggles.
