Starting from her birth in 1927, Mina describes her early life
as the fourth of seven children, being raised by an abused mother
and an alcoholic father and having to learn to cook for her entire
family at the age of five. In All I Ever Wanted Was a Good Man and
a Happy Home, she tells stories about - struggling to finish high
school, singing in a night club, dancing for ten cents a dance,
hitchhiking to California as a teenager, cooking on a tug boat on
the Mississippi River, working on the Alaskan Pipeline, being
married fifteen times, and raising her two children.
She tells her story in colorful country words. The book has
nuggets of hard earned truths. Her downhome description may shock
and amaze you, but this was agricultural living less than one
hundred years ago. This book includes journal entries, with all the
specific details of daily living. Through the ups and downs she
shows an indomitable spirit to overcome the setbacks and achieve
her goals. She was a feisty woman who thrived on life and
survived.
