The Station: A Reminder to Cherish to Journey
The Station brings a profound message that reminds one to embrace the journey of life. Designed as a keepsake, the beautiful colour illustrations and texture make this a great gift for everyone who is focusing on the destination rather than relishing the moment. The book's simple message that there is no one destination or station in life has the power to change lives.

A Nickel's Worth of Skim Milk
Told from the point of view of a young boy, this account shows how a family "faced the 1930s head on and lived to tell the story." It is the story of growing up in southern Illinois, specifically the Marion, area during the Great Depression. But when it was first published in 1972 the book proved to be more than one writer's memories of depression-era southern Illinois. "People started writing me from all over the country," Hastings notes. "And all said much the same: 'You were writing about my family, as much as your own. That's how I remember the 1930s, too.'" As he proves time and again in this book, Hastings is a natural storyteller who can touch upon the detail that makes the tale both poignant and universal. He brings to life a period that marked every man, woman, and child who lived through it even as that national experience fades into the past.
A Penny's Worth of Minced Ham
