Remembering a Kaleidoscope of Yesteryears: Stories of My Life and Times in South Carolina - Paperback

by Doris Honour Gerard (Author)

In this book, the first one of the "Remembering" trilogy, the Author paints a vivid picture of living and growing up in South Carolina during one of America's most tumultuous, historic periods. The setting bridges the years from the pre-Depression days to the United States' entry into World War II. The Author remembers with amazing clarity and in fascinating detail the challenges, struggles and adventures of the times, and she intertwines history, humor and romance as she tells her story. "Remembering a Kaleidoscope of Yesteryears" is more that just an autobiography; it offers portraits of the book's characters that brings them to life as they confront the challenges of a land still recovering from the aftermath of the Civil War, the Great Depression, and the inexorable slide into another war.
