Folks Around Home is a window into the past, a view of life as it was in rural Vermont in the 1940s. This little book is about people-the people in my neighborhood, the people who came to our door, the people who helped to shape my life. My childhood was during difficult financial times. Yet we did not consider ourselves poor. We had a wealth of family and community that enriched my growing up years. Folks Around Home is the fourth book in a series.
