Wish it were longer...By Terri2050It was interesting; although I must confess I thought some of it read more like a novel than a true telling of her life. I was confused about her choices; how she came into money (seemed to do quite well for a single mother); so can't help but believe it was less than truthful in many ways. But interesting for the "timepiece" of writing it is. She seemed remarkably open minded for the time in history and the USA. Makes you wonder if the 30s and 40s were a time of regression in openness after the 1920s?0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating (if tiny) window into another era--- Wonderful!By FaceFascinating miniature time capsule featuring a voice rarely heard from the period. I love this kind of history--- the perspective of the "everyday" person providing a window into what ordinary life was like at the time. The only disappointment is that it's so thin; it's not a terribly long memoir; and not very fleshed out. That being said; the supporting text (and the research that was done to produce it) really help provide context. One feels as though one is getting a glimpse through a small window into an entirely different world. It's just a little frustrating because the window is so small! Nevertheless; it's extremely worthwhile. Wonderful stuff for anyone interested in pre-Depression America.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A curiosityBy MountainmangoThe author's language is a bit peculiar. I appreciate that no editing was done to the original text but it's a pretty good read. I wish the editors had substituted the real people's names for the pseudonyms used.
