This is one of the most inspiring books I have EVER read. This is a vivid account of growing up in rural Georgia during the Depression. I absolutely love this book.

This was a delightful book. I grew up reading the Little House on the Prairie books, and this is an adult version of southern farm life in the 20th century. I found myself looking for clues as to how a President is shaped from childhood---what training and which values shaped his life. The book is beautiful and entertaining with a strong emphasis on cultural diversity and values. I recommend it highly.

Set aside any political opinions and enjoy this book. It is finely written memoir of growing up in the early 20th century on a farm in the south. I discussed it with relatives of mine who grew up on a farm in North Dakota and it was telling their story also. It also shows how one's early experiences shape the adult viewpoint and life direction. Very readable, and has photos of all the people mentioned in the memoir.
