The Boy on the Green Bicycle

the boy on the green bicycle, a memoir
The Diehls were a large Southern family settled in the North. There were four children in the big house in the leafy town, siblings exquisitely intertwined, forming their own child's universe around a brilliant and playful eldest brother. Jimmy is the family's symphonious spirit and Margaret's absolute champion and hero. He is fourteen when he is killed, she nine. His death affects each family member differently, and Margaret Diehl takes note of these distinct griefs while facing her own unimaginable loss.

Margaret Diehl is the author of two critically acclaimed novels,
Men and Me & You. She lives in New York and may be reached at mkdiefh@hotmail.com.
