Sew Buttons on Ice Cream: A Memoir [Large Print]

By Donna Peirson

Born during the Great Depression and raised in Minnesota during World War II, Donna Harris learns early that life can be as difficult as "sewing buttons on ice cream." Still, she meets each challenge with humor and adaptability.

From the Midwest to the lively streets of San Francisco, Donna's journey is marked by bold choices and reinvention. She pursues opportunities, builds lasting friendships, and embraces new technological innovations and life experiences-including a banjo band and a move to Australia.

As she and her husband build their family, stability feels just out of reach. New homes, business risks, and unexpected turns shape their path, pushing Donna and Bill to adapt and finally put down roots.

Drawn from decades of memories, journals, and communication with loved ones, this memoir captures a life defined by perseverance, care, and favorite recipes.
