Fans of Kestner Wallace's first book, A Dollar the Hard Way, will enjoy this new series of stories about life in rural Southern Illinois and beyond during the Great Depression and the decades following. The author's incredible memory of bygone times lends a richness of detail in these delightful and poignant stories that recall a different era in America's history. As each tale unfolds, vivid images are created of life on the farm, in a one-room schoolhouse, or tromping through the woods in Southern Illinois. Sprinkled throughout are words of wisdom, reminders of the incredible hardships faced by his generation, adventures large and small, and even a little romance. This book is a joy to read all at one sitting or bit by heartwarming bit and will leave you wanting to relay the stories within to others. Kestner Wallace's charming, often humorous tales have delighted Springhouse Magazine readers for nearly thirty years.
