Publisher Synopsis
"Moody has recorded with fidelity and skill a time and a place and a way of life that is, in itself, the essence of the American dream. Reading his book is like returning to Grandmother's kitchen with the heavenly smell of sugar cookies escaping from the oven."-Chicago Sunday Tribune * Chicago Sunday Tribune * "In Ralph Moody's . . . book of young memories grinding poverty is overshadowed by the diligence that overcame it. Bitter cold is forgot-ten in heartwarming affection and humor. Unpretentious courage lights every page."-Christian Science Monitor * Christian Science Monitor * "It is a story of family industry and ingenuity. . . . A well-told story, full of interesting detail about life in the first part of the twentieth century, and children, particularly, will find it pleasant reading."-New York Herald Tribune Books * New York Herald Tribune Books * Read more...
