Childhood memoir of overcoming adversity during the 1950s, by Marianne Dekoven. One reviewer writes: “This is such a touching story of a girl-child making her way in the world, navigating some rough emotional waters through childhood and adolescence (rougher than usual!) as her family moves to Chicago’s South Side from the Long Island suburbs. Yet, she comes through it all triumphantly!”
Memoir by Kathy Wagenknecht. After 57 years in the same house, Judy and Cliff Wagenknecht left Independence, Missouri, and moved into a rented house in Raleigh, North Carolina, to be nearer their family. In the challenging process of helping their parents disassemble their home, daughters Kathy and Karen uncovered pieces of their childhood among the forgotten items accumulated over half a century.
