I Knew We Wuz Poor : Coming of Age on an Arkansas Farm in the Great Depression

With stories, original poetry, and vivid prose this book views the Great Depression through childhood memories. The work promises enjoyment for survivors, descendants, and heirs of that lodestar of the American experience.  In a direct, accessible, colorful style it recalls the pain and joy, bitter failures and euphoric successes, life shaping loves and dark dreads, the painful goodbyes to brothers off to war and the euphoria of their homecoming.  It highlights a childhood shared with a sister, and a lifetime of shared commitments.  The concluding Quo Vadis sketches the storys outcome and a eulogy for sister Wanda. The appendix offers images of their storied world.
