Description
True reminiscences from the author’s life growing up in rural Maine in the 1930s and ’40s.
Born in 1931, Harriet Riley Cederstrom writes with warmth, humor, and insight about growing up in what was locally known as the Brimstone Hill area in rural Maine - having adventures with her friends (often with no adult supervision as was common in those days), meeting colorful characters, attending a chaotic Stanley Brush sales party, dealing with telephone party lines, swimmin’ at the "ol' swimmin' hole," watching the skies for enemy aircraft during World War II, and much more. Harriet began writing her stories in her 70s. Names have been changed, but the stories are true, mostly.
