[Becca · Rating 3 out of 5]

This writer apparently prefers telling to showing and passive voice to active voice. The stories are interesting though. Life was vastly different during the Great Depression. I can't imagine what it would be like to have so little. It made life simpler in some ways, but more complicated in others. I wish I could hear James Hanna tell these stories in person.

Beautifully written book. Wonderful descriptions of life growing up.
