Gimme Back My 70s

Gimme Back My 70s is a warm, funny look back at the decade when kids stayed outside until somebody yelled their name, phones were stuck to the wall, television had three channels, and nobody needed a password to live their life.

Gina Stevens brings the 1970s back through memory, humour, family stories, childhood mischief, and the small details that made the decade unforgettable. From neighborhood freedom and school days to music, clothes, food, cars, cousins, holidays, and the glorious lack of adult supervision, this book remembers a time that was far from perfect but impossible to forget.

For anyone who grew up in the 70s, loved someone who did, or wonders why people still miss it so much, this book is a trip back to bell-bottoms, station wagons, shag carpet, Saturday cartoons, and the kind of childhood that somehow survived without seat belts, bottled water, or constant documentation.

It was loud. It was tacky. It was ours.
