"A wonderful reminder that economic hardship can bring suffering
but can also foster compassion and community." -"The Boston
Globe"
In hard economic times like these, readers will find bestselling
author Ted Gup's unique book uplifting as well as captivating.
Inside a suitcase kept in his mother's attic, Gup discovered
letters written to his grandfather in response to an ad placed in a
Canton, Ohio, newspaper in 1933 that offered cash to seventy-five
families facing a devastating Christmas. The author travels coast
to coast to unveil the lives behind the letters, describing a range
of hardships and recreating in his research the hopes and suffering
of Depression-era Americans, even as he uncovers the secret life
led by the grandfather he thought he knew.
