Read how the grandson found the old letters from families requesting help during the Great Depression. The grandfather kept the letters in a suitcase, the stories tell how the grandfather helps others with his donation to the many families requesting help. All the families answered a small ad in the local newspaper. The book tells a story of the Great Depression through the numerous true requests via the letters from families. The letters tell of struggles for survival, quests for help to stay 'afloat' during trying times. Sam Stone, aka B.K. Birdot, is a mysterious character, one with a generous heart who helps others. A great read; a book that the reader will learn much about the Great Depression.
