Hayseed
Like a grain of hay blowing in the wind, searching for fertile ground to put down roots.
Hayseed is the memoirs of a young girl growing up during the great depression of the 1920s-40s in the Upstate, New York farming area.
S. T. Sweeney tells the story of a growing family enduring the great depression, when America came to a standstill. Great banks closed, The Brass & Copper factories in the area closed, families lost homes, work 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 and became upstanding members of the community and eventually owned their own home once again.

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