The author grew up during the Great Depression. Born in 1931, she recalls many of the things that occurred during this period of time and in World War 11. Daisy Pate is a fictional character who is a young widow with four children to rear alone. She has inherited a 300 acre farm in North Carolina from her Grandfather. The story tells of her hope and hard work to keep the farm and her children from being victims of the hard times that all America experienced during what is known as the worst time in our history. Daisy’s journey is an account of many disappointments, yet joy, as she helps her children grow into women and men of respect, accountability and into what is now known as The Greatest Generation. It is the experiences of life on a farm before electricity, telephones, and other conveniences came to rural North Carolina. The setting is a Quaker Community where life revolves around Daisy’s home and farm, the church and the public school. Readers of any age will see what life was like in the 1930's and early ‘40's on a farm.
