The Nannie Fern Diaries Childhood Memories of an Indiana Farm Girl

This is a fascinating Great Depression survival story chronicling the childhood of Nannie Fern Bowling in rural Indiana. After losing her father at the tender age of six, Nannie, her three siblings, and their mother were forced to survive on very little. At times the story appears to be set in the 1800's instead of the mid-20th century. Join Nannie as she hides from the infamous bank robber John Dillinger, sends an anonymous note to an unpatriotic classmate telling her to move to Italy, and gets creative with life's basics - food, shelter, and family.
