Lily's Own: Stories of a Childhood

Lily is ornery, all right-and real stubborn. According to the Texas relatives she is not-one-lick like any of the kinfolk. Just doesn't fit, no siree.Lily tells us all about it. Her stories are about leaving home where there are no jobs and the dust has destroyed the earth, of the family who has only a few pots and pans and a little jingling money in Daddy's pocket, of settling in California...and growing up different. Lily pulls you into the lives of her wonderfully peculiar family and friends inciting some chuckles and nods along the way and maybe a tear or two when you experience Lily's innocence and resilience as she navigates the childhood road of wonder, worry, struggle and joy. These poignant vignettes evoke memories of the times and offer insight into the hardships, toughness and humor of a transplanted family during the Great Depression, World War II and its aftermath.
