Made up of true stories ranging all the way from the ins and outs
of daily life in the Mississippi Delta to bona fide brushes with
history, Anne Hart Preus's Stories from the Hart is a vivid account
of one girl's life growing up during some of the most formative
years in our nation's history, the 1950s and '60s. The reader is
introduced to characters from days gone by--family, friends, and
other townfolk from rural Tallahatchie County, Mississippi--some of
whom came and went quickly, and others who stayed a while. Although
intensely personal, the memoir is set against a backdrop of social
change, including events from the Emmett Till murder trial and
trips to Memphis to see Elvis Presley and the Beatles. The tales in
Stories from the Hart may be funny, dramatic, or occasionally even
wistful, but they are always touching. Whether Anne Hart Preus is
reminiscing about holiday traditions and unexpected snow days,
recounting fascinating and endearing town characters, or
remembering what it was like to grow up in a community where
everyone knew everyone, her natural and engaging style weaves
compelling stories that will keep readers coming back for more.
