The Back Door People: memories from the houses where I lived

A charming look at the Depression Era through the eyes of a young girl growing up in northern Minnesota. Barbara was born in 1931 when economic times were hard but life was simple. She lived with her parents and siblings in five houses by the time she was twelve, and takes the listener along as describes the houses and shares her stories of saving for a bike, paying for piano lessons with porcupine meatballs, enjoying five-cent ice cream cones, and learning the basics of journalism work at the local newspaper office. This story was written by Barbara Braseth Johnson at age 85 so her grandchildren could get a glimpse of what it was like to live without tv and cell phones and computers.
