Valerie S. (VolunteerVal) - reviewed on 8/9/2019 + 696 more book reviews

This delightful memoir, written by journalist Cheryl Stritzel McCarthy, is filled with tales from the author's childhood with 8 siblings, their loving and industrious parents, and others who found a place in their busy Ames, Iowa home in the 1960s and 70s.

All members of the Stritzel family, regardless of age, worked hard, played hard, and had great everyday adventures. I grew up in the same era (in a much smaller family!) so this brought back many fond memories.

If you enjoy stories of wholesome family fun in times before technology dominated our days, read this book.
