Open this memoir and visit a bygone age. See pre-WWII America through the eyes of a girl growing up in tough times: No father around. A mother who is distant, emotionally and often physically. A nation rocked by Depression. A life on the move. But this is no dark tale of despair. With its indomitable optimism and keen insight, Barbara Winther's memoir is effervescent, picturesque, and abidingly honest.
