Book excerpt: It was the summer of 1983 when eight-year-old Jason Shapiro moved into his new home and stumbled upon Jimmy Gallo. Their connection was instant and the adventures they would embark on captured the essence and simplicity of being a child. A mystical treehouse in Jimmy's yard quickly becomes the boys home base...The place where secrets are shared and lifelong bonds are made. When Jason abruptly finds out he is moving away in 1989, he must say goodbye to Jimmy and the magical life he made growing up on Mayfair Court. After a series of tragic events later in life, Jason returns to the street he grew up on. He reflects back on his boyhood adventures and attempts to confront his unresolved regrets. When he uncovers a long-forgotten letter, it will finally bring peace to his life. The Magic of Mayfair is a coming of age journey that weaves between the past and present, while Jason provides adult narrative. He recalls the joy of his childhood and the challenges of confronting his personal truths as an adult.
