Part "Little House" and part "The Waltons," this funny and warm-hearted memoir of life on a small Missouri farm in the 1950s is told through the eyes of a young girl, the seventeenth of eighteen children, and her sisters, nicknamed Mush and Tom. These delightful stories, wonderfully illustrated with original artwork, recall a more innocent age and, ultimately, eulogize an entire family. Over 150 photos and illustrations.
