Random Bits and Pieces: A Sort of Memoir

Rocky Rhoads was born during the waning years of the Great Depression. The place was Safford, a small ranching and cotton-growing town in Southern Arizona, with a population sitting right around five thousand. This was also a Mormon town. Eighty-five percent was their claim. Problem was, Rocky wasn't a Mormon-she was a Baptist. But being an outsider taught her to see the humor in life.

In Random Bits and Pieces, Rocky shares her life in a bygone era, the life and times of a 20th Century every-woman of grit and humor: flying through the air in a handmade airplane as a five year old, walking the family fence line with a mental hospital escapee, her experience in a nudist colony, and peeing in her own car.

With wit and delight Rocky has distilled her life down to a collection of charming, personal, and hysterical bits and pieces of a life well lived.
