I read this years ago, and loved it. I recommend it often to people who want to know just what one dedicated mother can do against all odds. It will replace my lost copy.

The author has brought to life ordinary people who lost everything in the depression. It will cause you to look into your own family histories and try to fill in the blanks. This is 1935 in Troutdale Oregon, outside of Portland where Edgefield exists now as a fine venue, restored with it's vegetable farms, small golf course, swimming, restaurant. The actual rooms in the poor house where Margaret Mary was committed in 1935, complete with historical photos in the hallways. Part of the McMenamins chain in Oregon and Washington. Could very much have been the true story. Newer edition is much better choice, 9781481224901 by Createspace in 2013

Every book of Jane Kirkpatrick gives you a very realistic view of early life in the west, from a woman's viewpoint. This book has lots of early women of the indian culture represented. She is my favorite NW author.

Love Jim Wallis, his books are the best. This is to replace my lost and treasured copy.
