Sonnie-Boy's People

"Sonnie-Boy's People" by James B. Connolly is a story set in times where family and country were everything. A young child, known as Sonnie-Boy, finds his life pleasantly interrupted by a visitor named Mr. Necker. The boy's playful nature and his new friendship are intertwined with the dedicated work of Aunt Marie, who sews a battle-flag as she reflects on the possibilities for Sonnie-Boy and the lives of his family, including the return of his father, Greg. Woven through these family interactions are a sense of obligation, hope for the future, and the importance of heritage in their close-knit environment. The story showcases the simple, genuine attachments that define their everyday lives.
