A very good book to pick up, especially after a busy day in our fast paced society. Read and let it drift you back to another time. Many of us can easily relate to this book as we have all been through it one way or another. Funny at times and nostalgic it is a very good job by an author who should feel proud of her heritage and accomplishment. The reader should thank her for sharing these times and insights with her. Mothers and grandmaothers take note of this one. It will make a beautiful gift for any teenager. Thank you, Mary Potts Fluharty
Reminder of my childhood in central West Virginia
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
"Jimmie Lee" reminds me of many things in my early years living on a central West Virginia farm. I also did chores morning and evening, carring water to the fields for workers, and later worked with them. The Author captured the spirit of the time during and after the depression. I can relate to some of the trouble in which Jimmie Lee and friends got involved. I recommend the book to those with a like background and to those who want to to get an idea of that period of time and the hardships the people endured.
One of the BEST books I ever read!!!

Extremely funny ! Only wish I could have been envolved in some of the times. Must have been lots of fun to write. Only hope another book follows!!

Simply Outstanding! This book is a great way to escape from the high-tech world of today and drift back to a time when things were more simple. I sure hope there is a sequel!
