Lola Hopkins grew up in rural Arkansas in the darkest days of American history. She gives us a glimpse of how the Great Depression affected her and her family. A young woman when Pearl Harbor was attacked, Lola Hopkins did her part to help "keep up the war effort at home." Though a personal story, the author takes us back through history, as she lived it, from the early part of the twentieth-century and recounts her memories and emotions of those times. Includes actual newspaper articles and memorabilia.
