A Story of the Depression Era
By
Aileen Kilgore Henderson
It’s 1935, and the hard times of the Great Depression, it seems, are here to stay. One day, MaryJake’s whole family packs up in the car and leaves—and after a couple hours’ drive, MaryJake finds herself alone on the edge of the road. So begins the adventure of an abandoned girl who chooses her own path.
