Lorraine Stott Maiden celebrates family bonds, hard work, and growing up in Appalachia from 1924 to 1942 in this autobiography that will have you yearning for yesterday. Throughout her childhood, Maiden's family moved around Kentucky's mining country to make ends meet. Even though life was tough, she remembers with fondness getting up in the morning to have breakfast with her daddy, who would tickle her and toss her in the air before leaving for work. The Great Depression would take a toll on the family, but this was during a time when someone's struggle to succeed was their determining factor for failure or success. The government did not rescue the disadvantaged—at least not until Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal came along. There were no evil intentions—only people struggling to find their own niche. Some succeeded, and some gave up. That was just part of growing up and trying to survive in Appalachia.
