This book takes a peek into what life was like for a teenager in
the foothills of the Ozark Mountains during the 1940s. The country
was recovering from the Great Depression while going through World
War II. It is a history of simpler times when neighbors supported
and depended on each other for survival. It shows the hard work it
took to eke out a living. It shows their achievements and their
disappointments. It was a time when Americans tightened their belts
to support their country as they never have since then. Rationing
of essential goods was done without complaining. Almost every home
had empty chairs at the table when young men and women left to
defend our freedom, with some of them never returning. Young people
made their own entertainment. This decade proved to be a pivotal
point for women. They entered the armed services and took their
place in defense plants and factories as never before. They proved
they were capable of doing what had to be done. This was the decade
of the National Recovery Act under FDR. The author attended high
school during these years and began teaching in a one-room country
school at age seventeen.
