The Nobles lose their home at 31 High Street to mortgage
foreclosure in 1939, and widow Minnie Emerson Noble has to "win the
bread" until June 1942 when her son Jerry finishes high school.
During those three years, animated movies, art, bicycles,
blueberries, church, dancing school, friends (one with ESP), music,
even murder, impact the lives of mother and son until they board a
train bound for Fresno, California on the day after 16-year-old
Jerry's graduation.
Staying a few months with Minnie's sister and her capable,
one-armed Welsh husband until Jerry can become breadwinner, the
Nobles embark on a new world of adventure in a strange city. They
live independently in rented cottages and explore wartime
California by bicycle and friends' automobiles, seeing the sights
from Fresno to Los Angeles, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Yosemite
National Park. As clerk, doorman, draftsman, and student, Jerry
encounters optometrists, preachers, projectionists, sailors,
singers, soldiers, usherettes. People from all backgrounds and all
walks of life help him and his mother depend upon and build their
faith in uncertain times.
