By 

Judy Hecker (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Barefoot in an Oklahoma Sticker Patch: Memories from Childhood in Rural Oklahoma County (Paperback)

My Aunt Geneva brought my heritage to life in her vignettes of her childhood days in her book Barefoot in an Oklahoma Sticker Patch. Through her shared experiences one can appreciate the struggles and triumphs of her great generation. Many of the vignettes are filled with the emotions of the times but laced with the humor and pride of the family. As her niece, "sticker patch" has strengthened my family respect, enhanced by family pride and inspired me to leave a similar legacy to my chldren and grandchildren.

4.0 out of 5 stars Depression Life in Oklahoma, March 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Barefoot in an Oklahoma Sticker Patch: Memories from Childhood in Rural Oklahoma County (Paperback)

A timid socially deficient young girl becomes a prominant, intelligent, teacher, educator, and community servant through grit and determination and the strength of family during the depression when the thing she did was persevere and walk through those sticker patches.

The book is akin to "Angela's Ashes" except it is from an American, Oklahoman vantage point.
