Kathy, I have Sea Glass by Anita Shreve on my bookshelf. It's a fictional account of a newly married couple in New England during the Great Depression. I enjoyed how the author wove in "helpful household hints" of the times written by the mother of the main character.
I also have The Vineyard by Barbara Delinsky but the bulk of this story tales place in contemporary times with only brief flashbacks to the depression era.
A couple of years ago I read a British author's trilogy that spanned most of the 20th century and included excellent accounts of life during both world wars in England and Europe and the depression era. The first book was called No Angel by Penny Vincenzi. Each book was lengthy but well worth reading, almost addictive. I don't think I've seen it offered here at PBS but maybe you could pick it up at a local library. All 3 books in the series made the rounds between family and friends...
