Book Synopsis
From riding to school in a hack drawn by two horses to scrounging for the good potatoes in a sack of discarded rotten produce in the middle of the Great Depression, Thelma Decker VanDine has lived the stories the rest of us can only read in history textbooks. Her recollections, along with those of her late husband Dean VanDine and her late sister Wilma Decker Rice, make the events of the last 100 years of history pop off the page and come alive in our imaginations.
