Description
This novel is based on the author's childhood memories of living in sheer poverty in the small hamlet of Tommytown. Witness his mother's forbearance while raising her seven children. There was no public assistance at that time. This story will educate the reader to the challenges that Helen faced each day.

The year is 1955 and Helen Foreman, a 35-year-old mother, knows her social condition is the result of a bad marriage, but still she donned an armor of optimism and focused on her duties as a mother. It was a tough road to endure, but she did it.

This family was dirt poor and the author made no effort to give me the impression that I would not be paying a visit to the home of the Beaver Cleaver's family. Still, the author sprinkled a bit of humor here and there because it kept the story from being so depressing.

If you are a mother, this story was written for you.
