High Cotton: Memoir of a young woman growing up on a New Mexico cotton farm in the post Depression Era - Paperback

by Susan Reynaud Price (Author)

A coming of age story of a young woman growing up on a cotton farm during the post-depression years and World War 2. She survived the 1930s and 1940s in a large and loving family in Southern New Mexico near the Texas and Mexican border. She has a memory that most folks would envy. At 87 years old, many of her childhood memories are as sharp and detailed as if they had happened just recently. A rich and colorful history comes to life in this memoir of Juliet, written by her daughter who decided to write the stories to keep her legacy alive. The oldest of eight children, and before they had electricity or running water in their home, Juliet took on much of the responsibility of helping raise her younger siblings. After years of challenges, they finally arrived at the point her daddy referred to as High Cotton.
