The Way We Lived: Growing Up in the 1940s
A heart-warming and funny memoir about a young Iowa farm girl growing up in 1940s America during World War II, featuring beautiful illustrations.
The Way We Lived follows Marilyn Ennen Peterson growing up on a farm near Lakota, in northern Iowa, in the 1940s. With no electricity, indoor bathroom, running water, phone, or television, some might think life was difficult. But not so. One doesn't miss what one never had.
This adventurous young girl learned a lot, mostly by her own resolve. Some of it was right, some not so much. But adding a little humor always made it a little easier.
Take her hand as she learns, grows, and matures. You may discover that this simple way of life was far from going without. They had everything they needed.
Perfect for history buffs, those nostalgic for a simpler time, and anyone who wonders what it would have been like to be a child in 1940s rural America.
