Product Description
This is the memoir of a young girl who grew up during the Great Depression, as told to her daughter many years later. Little Janice was five years old when her family went from riches to rags. Suddenly, she and her older sister found themselves in a new home, with only honey sandwiches to bring to school for lunch. Janice's dreams of becoming a concert pianist quickly fell from her grasp, the scramble for extra income removed her mother from the house during the week, and the warm winter clothes she outgrew were not replaced.Yet, Janice continued moving forward, happily surprised by every twist and turn. She succeeded in making her dream of a big family come true, cultivating an abiding faith along the way. Honey Sandwiches is a story that goes way beyond survival. It is a tale of optimism, adaptability, and triumph.
Customer Reviews
A gift for generations to come – loved it! Camille Armantrout’s Account of our family’s progress through the Twentieth Century is told directly and at ground level. Her (our) mom’s voice and tone are faithfully presented by Camille. This familiar tone adds rich, personal dimension to the well-researched chronology. This book is a valuable account that will serve future generations of our family. But further, it offers a unique and uncalculated view of the response of human will to adversity and the ability to adapt to change that all of us carry within. The photographs alone capture American life – as it has evolved throughout the course of more than a century – in a captivatingly concrete way. I keep opening it up to show pertinent little bits to family and friends. Each time I return to a spot that I have read, another aspect of a member of our family becomes more clear to me.
