An enjoyable read. Told completely by the 85 year old Addie, a Jewish grandmother in an interview for her granddaughter. The story begins in 1915 and she covers the question of "How she came to be the woman she is". The issues of the times-prohibition, child labor, the flu epidemic- and how she and her family were affected. It is moving, humorous, tragic and sweet.
