She had both a devilish and a sweet side. From stepping in cow patties and watching her brother perform trapeze stunts from the barn beam to feeling remorse from nearly accidentally hanging her uncle's dog from the treehouse or from getting a three corner tear in her good dress, the author recounts the events of her childhood in genuine fashion. Full of local color, this memoir recounting the author's memories from her childhood growing up in rural Maine in the Fifties and Sixties includes a cast of true to life characters that will cause the reader to "remember when."
