About my latest book
Read fascinating memories of the Great Depression by Americans who lived it !
I have written a variery of books, but this latest one, They Never Threw Anything Away, is my favorite!
So many wonderful memories, and lessons, from Americans who survived the challenging years of the 1930's
They Never Threw Anything Away contains memories by 22 Americans, each from different parts of the U.S. including Dust Bowl survivors; Anabaptists in northen Indiana; a 9-year daughter of Greek immigrants who was placed in a sanitarium due to tuberculosis, but later became a highly successful restauranteur and friend of movie stars; a barnstorming aviator in Seattle, nursing students from poverty-stricken regions of Kentucky; a Black man who tolied in a turpentine forest in southern Georgia, a socialite whose famous grandfather took her on a steamship to Panama where he had literally built the canal...and many more incredible stories....
