Growing Seasons: An American Boyhood Before the War
The years of the Great Depression were lean ones for most Americans; jobs were scarce and nobody had any money. But all was not struggle and hardship; it was also a time of innocence, kindness, and generosity. It is this special time that Samuel Hynes captures in this lyrical memoir of his midwestern boyhood. Hynes grew up following his father to wherever there was work, and eventually to Minneapolis. Though Hynes's family lived through hard times, he remembers his early years not as a time of pinched deprivation but as a golden stretch of opportunities and discoveries. Written with great clarity and humor, "The Growing Seasons" is the story of a truly American boyhood.
