Deer. Bears. Boo-Boos. And a big brown dawg. Fifty years after the original manuscript was typed, this memoir of life in the old Oneida Post Office in Washington state finally comes to light, with all the humor, zest for life and love of animals that Arlie Fauver brought with her to Oneida in the early 1950s. “Who in the hell would buy that place?” was Arlie’s first reaction to the ramshackle old building that would later become her family’s home – a home full of fun, friends and laughter; heartache, loss and trouble; and critters of all descriptions.
