When Herbert Shoemaker gets a job sharecropping for Mr. Sweeney, things begin to look up for the Shoemaker family. From living in a tent to living in a run down shack on the farm, Alice Shoemaker is determined to make the best of the circumstances. With the chickens she now has on the farm, she is focused on saving her egg money to provide some type of Christmas for her children. After the birth of her third child, Alice is surprised by the unexpected blessings that come to her family. An inspirational story that I could not put down until I finished it. A must read, especially if you like stories from the depression era.
