My Review:
As a child I would hear my parents talk all too often about The Great Depression and hard it was for my parents families to survive such a devastating time. My parents had me late in life, my dad was born in 1929 and my mother in 1938. I found that era in time and history to be fasinating especially as we embark on what I feel are uncertain times. The author Jo Huddleston gives an excellent account of the triumphs and struggles of Appilachian families during the Great Depression.

She shares with us that even though those times were so hard on all of our family members that there was one true, constant and that was our Father. This book introduces you to two teenagers that grow up in the same general area and show how their lives intertwine to create a very good and strong backdrop to the life and times of those days. I really enjoyed the first in the series and look forward to what comes next!
