In the heart of Northwest Indiana's Calumet Region sits Whiting,
Indiana. Born and raised in this "industrial Mayberry," author
Albert R. Koch relives his experiences in this small town and
beyond through this refreshing collection of essays.
"Help Mom with the Dishes" is a journey through Koch's life,
featuring people, places, and extraordinary moments experienced by
a not-so-ordinary guy. These episodes convey the wonder of youth,
the potency of humor, the power of learning, and the poignancy of
emotions. For Koch, what happens in the past provides direction for
the future. One can decide to either live life looking in the
rearview mirror or focus on what lies ahead. One can use life
experiences to strengthen and grow, or be satisfied with a mediocre
life. Early on, Koch's choice is to "Help Mom with the dishes."
Viewed through the parade of seasons, these distinctive,
exceptional moments during Koch's continual quest for understanding
and meaning are recalled with thoughtful, reflective insight-from
classroom to factory, factory to campus, campus to classroom. Over
that time, he's learned an important lesson: The triumph over
sadness is not easy. It requires an unflinching belief in the
goodness of people, a positive sense of humor, and perhaps, too, a
little faith and reverence for things we cannot see.
