Lulu.com, 2007. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 200 pages. Illustrated with five double-sided pages of black and white photos. Trade paperback, barely shelf-worn, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. This is a poignant and clear-eyed memoir of the Great Depression, by an American woman who became well-educated (graduating from Vassar, being in the circle of F.O. Mattheissen at Harvard) despite the hardships of her childhood. She relates the pre-history of the loss of her father, and her courageous mother's battle to save her family and, eventually, earn her degree in theology and ordination as a minister.
