Summary:

An engaging account of one woman's overcoming the Depression and small town mores. Viola Goode Liddell's short memoir tells the story of her return to Alabama in search of a husband and a new life. Thirty years old and recently divorced, Liddell comes back to her home state-with her young son-determined to survive, during the depths of the Depression. Liddell narrates the obstacles she faces as a single mother in the 1930's Deep South with self-deprecating humor and a confessional tone that reveal both her intelligence and her unapologetic ambitions.
