Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was five years old when I was taken into care, to live in a Catholic children’s home called Nazareth House in Glasgow. I was reunited with my two older sisters. I missed the easy affection of my grandparents’ home. #2 I loved being in the home. I preferred the predictability and safety of it to the uncertainty and chaos of my mother’s home. I was happy there, day to day, until I was taken away at age seven. #3 I loved to pull threads out of the pink bedspread that covered my blankets. I was nervous about going to school, but I was well fed and well dressed, so I was happy. #4 I had a difficult time in school, and was bullied. I spent most of my time reading, and would often hide myself away in the still of the bedroom. Jock was a fierce competitor with my father, and would often argue with him.

Book excerpt: Those personal accounts resurrect the essential experience of children's work, play, education, family relations, and coming of age from their own perspectives. Steering a middle path between the myth of wholesome farm life and the reality of work that was often extremely dangerous, Riney-Kehrberg shows both the best and the worst that a rural upbringing had to offer midwestern youth a time before mechanization forever changed the rural scene and radio broke the spell of isolation. Down on the farm, truancy was not uncommon and chores were shared across genders. Yet farm children managed to indulge in inventive play---much of it homemade---to supplement store-bought toys and to get through the long spells between circuses.
