Katie's Paper Roses Elizabeth W. Zeigler

This is a story of an indomitable family, that epitomizes the old pioneer spirit that conquered the lean times of the Depression with a combination of courage, and a lot of love. A great story, for young and old. Delightfully reminiscent of the stories of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. This wonderful family learned to live their life on the road as so many had to do in those troubled times of the 1920's and 30's. It is full of whimsical and interesting anecdotes, of the children's wonderful childhood, and how their mother made the nomadic life of the times seem fun. It is not often we run across a great novel of such homespun entertainment. You will laugh and cry with this wonderful family and learn right a long with the boys the wonder that was Katie.
