History books generally avoid the details of human life. They tell of what happened at a time, but not how it affected those living through that time. The depression of the 1930's and the war of the early 1940's changed the world, and history books provide great detail as to the causes and of the changes brought about. Still, how families handled these challenges cannot be told in a book of history, because each family had its own manner of living through these significant historical periods. This book is the story of how a young boy and his family live through the depression of the 30's and the Second World War. Unlike many others, his father is employed, but that employment causes them to live in 145 town in his first ten years. When the Second World War begins, they move to New Orleans for the next four years. What a way to grow up!
