This book is a nostalgic trip back to how life was in the 1950s, especially for a low-income budgeted family living within a veterans housing project in East Boston, Massachusetts. Household life and its perceptions and observations are seen through the eyes of the youngest female member of the family. The observations are mostly humorous. The years of personal growth and remembrances happen between the ages of two to ten in these stories. Her tenth year on the planet involved a cataclysmic change to the family dynamics. I think you will find yourself bonding with her as she copes with the inevitability of mortality. She loses a parent.
Her tale is told as a collection of short stories and reflects life in East Boston which, to this day, is still a community of immigrant families. Each story contains a bit of humor and a bit of pathos as you follow this innocent but funny child through her emotional growth spurts and her sometimes intuitive thought processes about the adults surrounding her. How they cope with her, their budget, and their world makes for interesting reading.
She is a reflection of her times and her experiences. She is someone you will get to know and like as she has a voice worth listening to.
