All about a young boy growing up in the depression. He had no father but lived with his mom and a couple of bachlor uncles.
Kind of makes you glad to not have been around during the depression.

Charming novel about a boy growing up in North Carolina during the Great Depression. Sweet without being nauseating. Written in simple language, carefully chosen.
