Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a true accounting of my growing up very poor in a poor state. It tells how we managed to survive times when we did not have enough to eat or enough clothes on our backs to really keep warm in winter. It shows the great fun we had with literally nothing. If we had a toy, you can bet it was homemade or a discard found in the town dumpmostly homemade because there werent people with enough money to throw anything away until it was completely worn out or broken. Things got a little better when some of my older brothers and a sister were married and left home to start their own families, but we still did not have as much as some kids had. The puzzling thing is, I dont remember suffering or being envious from this sometime lack of basic necessities. We were having too much fun to even notice.
