During The Great Depression

Book Cover & Preview Text
Childhood is a passing stage that for good or ill remains with us forever. Even so, adults only grasp the speciality of the wonder years dimly. It is
a rare slot in time when the mind congers up events of inventiveness adults have long since disremembered. A child produces images of his/her immediate
environment only he or she can touch and love and put away in that secret repository of dreams. Inner space and illusion, peering through a lens that
distorts reality and holds back the clock of accountability, is the essence of childhood.
These stories arrive to you through the eyes of a boy I call The Kid. Truth and imagination – struggles during the gloom of the Great Depression and
the laughter that drove the blues away. It is about my growing up family and the love we shared.

About the Book
In Forgotten Times Remembered, Glendon, through the eyes of a boy growing up during the Great Depression of the 1930’s, narrates the love and
determination of his Scots mother to keep, “a roof over their heads,” of his older siblings seeking work when the country was mired in massive
unemployment, of the daily struggles of a family just staying afloat.
In spite of hardships this is a story of optimism, of a time when there were front porches, a time when a neighbors help was essential to life itself.
It is a warm look at a time when laughter, oft times, covered the grim reality of their futures.
