Sandra Phillips (rolfeswife) - , reviewed on 12/3/2013 + 83 more book reviews

In a nutshell, this is one of the very best books I have ever read!This true memoir is set mainly in the good 'ol 50's! They are Catholic, good moral , "baby poppin" people :) To help her alcoholic husband ( he wasn't as "religious" as Evelyn was) provide for the growing family, she started entering "jingles" short poems touting products.She wins a car, a fridge, and so many , many other wonderful prizes, lots of money, actually, enough money to support the family.
In the 40's and 50's..when "jingles" which were little poems to advertise products, were written by the consumers. This wonderful lady wrote jingle after jingle, right in the nick of time, to help bail them out of many financial disasters,. It was so entertaining, I loved it so very much..You will too!!
