Opis

The Edwards family has lived on a small farm on the side of Morgan Hill in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania for the past 150 years. This is the story of the growing-up years of one generation of the family during the 1930's and 1940's: the time of the Great Depression-World War II-before television-when radio was king and children filled their time through their own imaginations. The community in which they grew up was geographically isolated and socially cloistered but it suffered from many of the same problems and ills which are common to most times and locales.

Darrell Edwards, using his own reminiscences and those of his siblings, has chronicled the story of their life with the happiness, the sadness, and the every-day routines that are parts of most peoples lives.
