| Sitting at the breakfast table in the old farmhouse on the hill, Mama holding the baby and Daddy buttering the kids' biscuits while they're hot, helps tell the story of a family's struggles and joys during the drought and depression on a West Texas farm.
This story by the author of Odyssey of Innocents is her memory as a young girl from 1925 to 1933.
Each chapter contains an incident of family life: going to a Medicine show, the Pie Supper, making lye soap, and when the Watkins man came, all big events. Other stories of being frightened by screams of a mountain lion and a brave five-year-old boy helping his mother kill a rattlesnake.
Lessons learned at school, picking cotton and wishing for rain are a part of life. Coping with a family tragedy, a tornado and crop loss, the family never looses hope for a better life.
Wonderful illustrations and great country recipes help make this book an unforgettable work. |
