Book gives Youngstown residents a voice
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — Youngstown history is always a good read.
'Car bombs to Cookie Tables' is a collection of stories put together by Youngstown native Jacqueline Marino. There's one essay on cookie tables, and a little talk about car bombs. It's a collection of essays, poems and pictures that lets Youngstown residents tell the true story of what living here is like.
Ed O'Neill is among the people who share their perspectives in the book. It came out in 2015 and was updated in 2020.
'Because I feel like a lot of people do have their own stories, their own Youngstown stories, that might just not have figured out how to tell them yet,' Marino said. 'And all of the writers in this book, they have all gone the distance. They have all gotten that bit of inspiration and carried it all the way through to a written essay.'
'Car Bombs to Cookie Tables' is available at bookstores or online.
