The Norden Clubs are pleased to permanently record these memories as part of history, particularly the Scandinavian influence in America
This charming coming-of-age memoir will capture your heart from the very first page. From small town American values and parental attitudes to group dating and popular fashion trends, Fullers crisp, clear, and sometimes quirky, writing style will keep you spellbound. She refreshingly presents an in-depth look at her life in America from post WWII to the beginning of the Korean War when times and lives were a bit simpler. Her characters are real, her verbal pictures are clear and her adventures are pure. A delightful read from the beginning. -Diane Yost Roush, B.A. Albion College, retired International English Teacher.
