Elizabeth knew her parents were worried about money, but even through the papers said it was the worst depression they'd seen, she didn't mind. Too little money and too little food wasn't enough to keep them down...until her father lost part of his hand to a piece of farm equipment.
For the first time, Elizabeth and her family had to turn to charity for food and basic necessities. When her grandparents came to America, they had said anyone who worked hard could make it here, but that was starting to look doubtful in the face of the Great Depression and personal misfortunes.
Inspired by true Depression era events, a thirteen year old girl manages to take on the town authorities and give her five brothers their best Christmas ever. There are humorous and heartfelt moments throughout.
Written under the author's maiden name to honor her father.
