| dc.description.abstract | The adopted daughter of a Cherokee woman and a likable country man, Ginny Hefner grew up an only child in the small northeastern Oklahoma town of Wagoner in the decade of the 1930s. In that small town, against the backdrop of Prohibition, the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl, Ginny taught herself how to survive on her own after her parents' marriage unraveled. She found her first true friend in Skeet Maddox. It was through Skeet that Ginny learned there was more to life. While she got by with very little, Ginny dreamed of more. She weathered those bleak days, remembering every detail. She wrote down and recorded her life lessons and memories on scraps of paper for her granddaughter to cherish and remember. These are her stories, the happy and the sad, the tragic and the comforting, all reconstructing a life.--Abstract. | |
