Description: Here are Blanche Caffiere's warm-hearted, humorous recollections of her friendship with Betty MacDonald, author of The Egg and I and the endearing Mrs. Piggle Wiggle stories, and Betty's zany, loving family. With an astonishing eye and ear for detail - not to mention a near-perfect memory - Blanche Caffiere takes us on a joyful ride through decades of friendship, from Roosevelt High School girlhood frolics to young motherhood and careers, from divorce and illness to the hardships of World War II. Whatever happiness and tribulation they experienced, Betty MacDonald and her family lived life to the fullest, and Blanche Caffiere has captured it all.
