Memories of a Depression Baby

In Memories of a Depression Baby, author Bill Williams tells the heartwarming story of growing up in a large family during the Great Depression. Born just seven months after the stock market crash of 1929, Bill remembers his family's day-to-day struggles to survive not only the depression, but also World War II and the Korean War, when all five brothers served in the armed forces. A great sense of humor was prevalent in their family, and helped see them through some difficult times. Told from the perspective of a young boy who never thought of his family as poor, Bill's memories captivate the reader and take us back to a simpler time of ice cream socials and victory gardens.
