  Bruce Foxworthy, author of Making Do and Hanging On: Growing Up in Apple Country Through the Great Depression
No place in America escaped the impacts of the Great Depression, from 1929 to 1939. Even the quiet, orchard-filled Entiat Valley of the author's boyhood suffered its cruel effects. Making Do and Hanging On--Growing Up in Apple Country Through the Great Depression, presents the author's recollections during those mean years--memories of local conditions and events, and of his family's coping with seemingly endless setbacks in its struggles upward. These memoirs, sometimes stark, sometimes poignant, sometimes touched with humor, call up thought-provoking parallels to modern events.

  Mark Neher, author of Target Practice: My Life in the Bullseye
So sad. So funny. Ridiculous but true!
How could it be that a boy who spent every waking hour of his life celebrating the wonders along his twisted path, spent every night thinking of painless ways to end it before someone else did? Oddly enough, humor became the papery shield that accompanied him to the park, the playground, the campground and the classroom. It was all he had until summers would take him away to sanctified places described in rich detail. Set in the 1960s and 70s, this story grabs you by your inner child and won't let go. It is written from that precious place where forgiveness takes hold and laughter is born.
