description: Carla Funk grew up in a place of logging trucks and God pellet guns and parables. Every Sunday she sat with her mother and brother in the same pew at the Mennonite church while her dad stayed home with his cigarettes and a fridge full of whiskey. In these tender humorous stories Funk stitches together the wondrous and the mundane: making snow angels and carrying sacks of potatoes tossing pig bladders like footballs and vying for the Christmas pageant spotlight.Part ode to childhood part love letter to rural life Every Little Scrap and Wonder offers an original take on the memories stories and traditions we all carry within ourselves whether we planned to or not.
