À propos de cet audio
Set in St. Paul, Minnesota during Prohibition, the Great Depression, World War II and the postwar era, this book traces one remarkable woman's journey through challenges experienced by women of her time.
By divorcing an intolerable husband in the 1920s, she was forced to give up her son to his father along with her security and the protection of a family. She re-married and took on the secrets and challenges of a man involved in bootlegging and other suspicious activity and became a mother to his children. She had four more children of her own, experiencing love and loss during a time of great deprivation. She survived through grit, determination, work, and the help of women across ethnic and class lines.
Enriched with vintage photos and original recipes, the book offers listeners an emotional story and an intimate window into Minnesota life in the first half of the 20th century.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
