Alma Owens narrates a very interesting picture of life in the days without running water, indoor plumbing and having baby after baby and loving each and every one of them (the children, not the hardships). Its written in a way that if you close your eyes and listen to her words you feel as though she is speaking just to you, regarding her life when times were very very hard. Not driving she had a very limited means of getting around places until she was older and then she learned to drive. Her husband was not encouraging in her getting out and about on her own, and in some way, not real supportive, but that was the way men were in those days. I loved this book and highly recommend it to anyone wanting an very interesting peek into America's history.
