What did those born in 1922 in America have to look forward to? They would face seven years of lawlessness and crime like the country had never experienced. This would be followed by the Great Depression-years when many people would go to bed hungry. Surviving this, men would find that they were the ideal age to fight in the biggest and bloodiest war the world has ever known. Author Bruce Vaughn remembers the good things life had to offer growing up in a small community in northwest Arkansas in the Depression.

This collection of family stories tells of many repeat performances--over more than one hundred years and in places all over the United States. We call these repeat performances "companion stories" told by a dozen family story-tellers. There are repeat performances of such family experiences as making sourdough bread, icing drinks, having babies, eating watermelon, living through storms, and going to school--in places like west Texas, the Ozarks, northern Virginia, southern Idaho, Batesville, Arkansas and Bullard, Texas. These landscapes of our lives--some of them-become characters too.These are ordinary stories, from ordinary people, in ordinary places. Most every reader will find a story that echoes his or her experiences with just a small (or large) twist.
