pj-s-bookcorner avatar reviewed on + 885 more book reviews


Interesting memoir of life growing up on a farm in Iowa during the Depression. Amusing, insightful and informative reflections on the expectations of children in the family, the character building and work ethic that resulted. Gives me insight to some of the sayings and habits of my parents that I never understood their meaning. Enjoyable read.
