Didn't Know We Were Poor

Didn't Know We Were Poor begins in 1922. Maywood Callis yearned to date the attractive Grace Richardson. Courtship led to marriage and afterward the couple purchased a nineteenth century homestead, where I was born. Then, the stock market crashed after my sister's birth. Daddy made his livelihood on the Bay and by 1932, seafood industries weren't. We never hungered but house payments lagged. Would we lose our home? Mamma prayed and acted on impulse to save her family from failure. We children never knew the true circumstances; however, I wondered why. Stories from many states add spice to the tales.Brooks, Catherine C. is the author of 'Didn't Know We Were Poor', published 2007 under ISBN 9780741442093 and ISBN 0741442094.
