I read this book several months ago, and I am still remembering it fondly. Friends who I had not talked about it with have discovered it on their own, via audio book, and we are all just marveling at such a unique, true story of the American Depression period. If you like history, you will love this book, because it is not written in a boring way. It is true, with stories, research and reflection. I highly recommend it. Five stars!
