Hayseed

by S.T. Sweeney

Like a Grain of Hay Blowing in the Wind, Searching for Fertile Ground to Put Down Roots. Hayseed is the memoir of a young girl growing up in a farming community of Upstate New York during the Great Depression. S.T. Sweeney tells the story of a large family enduring the Depression, when America came to a standstill. Banks closed. Brass and copper factories shut their doors. Families lost homes, jobs, and a comfortable way to make a living wage. Life was hard, but the children were resilient and made the most of each day. With a trust in God and the love of family and friends, S.T. and her family worked hard to become upstanding members of the community and eventually owned a home once again.

I love the stories in this book. They were poor but had rich memories. This was a fun quirky fast read.
