The series begins in 1949. Jerry and his family move from the city, Cortland to the home converted from an old dance hall right under the thundering waterfall at Delphi Falls. Along with his friends, Jerry camped on top of the cliffs and studied the beavers building their dams when they weren't in school. It was times in the shadows of World War Two - with the very same kids who lived through a war that killed more than eighty million lives wordwide.
In the opening of the titular love story, Jerry, rather appropriately, is enamored. It's 1966, and the 20-something is a groomsman for a friend's Long Island wedding. He catches a glimpse of one of the bridesmaids--Pamela, as it turns out--and is immediately smitten. The nearly 7-foot-tall groomsman is coupled with Pamela, the tallest of the women, for the ceremony, and they even get caught in a photo together with a passing Robert F. Kennedy. But after the wedding, Pamela heads back to Paris, where she works as a model. Ten years pass, and Jerry has the opportunity to spend an evening with Pamela, an unforgettable encounter before the two reunite decades later. Antil's tale grows more endearing as the couple's romance becomes more familiar. Jerry, for example, initially idolizes Pamela, whose modeling days were spent mingling with celebrities, but as he gets to know her (favorite movies and books), it's an unquestionably strong connection between real people. The remaining trio of tales in the collection delves further back into Antil's history, each revolving around Christmas with his family. The hilarious "Richard Leaves the Choir Breathless" spotlights 6-year-old Jerry's older brother, Dick, who's in trouble so often at Roman Catholic school he's mastered the art of sleeping while standing in the corner. His performance for the school's Christmas pageant is, not surprisingly, a showstopper. "Postwar Shortages and Shortfalls" is likewise amusing when a holiday gift for the children's mother leads to a mishap at a bank that may traumatize the family with embarrassment. The book ends with "A Cazenovia Christmas Past," the gloomiest of the bunch. In it, preteen Jerry and his siblings are shocked when their father is diagnosed with tuberculosis and leaves the family to stay at a sanatorium. Not sure when his dad will return, if at all, Jerry may miss out on the joy of the childhood he's experiencing, including a summer job and young love with the new girl at school, Judy.Winsome stories of love and unbreakable bonds, notwithstanding tragedy or years of separation.

Imagine a world at war. Cities and countries wiped off the face of the earth. It happened. Imagine kids getting through it dreaming of white Christmases, of falling in love and living happily ever after. That happened too. These same kids invented Elvis Presley, Rock and Roll, tail fins for cars and the panty girdle. They invented the Hula Hoop, EZ Bake Ovens and the bikini...why they even landed on and walked around on the moon. Nothing to it.Their first loves were harder. Meet a forties child Jerry. Jerry's rose colored glasses came off in the '60s, he came of age, forgot he was just a kid and conquered marketing. Hollywood couldn't have written it better, and it's true."Just finished the book and I am simply staggered at how good it is. The story is engrossing and speaks to what every man has lived in his own life. It is a profound work. It is at its root a story of growth and passage. Passage from youth to maturity. All of us have had a similar experience but you have memorialized it into a beautiful narrative. There have been two comparable works for me personally. J. D. Salinger s epic, A Catcher in the Rye as I became a teenager and a movie I brought to the screen in the 1980 s: Stand by Me directed by Rob Reiner and written by Stephen King. Both made a profound impact on me and shed insight and light on my own life and evolution. Now, I must add a third leg to this group: The Long Stem is in the Lobby. It is that good. Thank you for making our times together a part of this wonderful work. I am honored. Congratulations my friend. I am glad that you have been and are in my life. Pete" Peter S. Sealey (Past president of Columbia Pictures)
