Customer Reviews

wonderful account of one family's mill life

I have read this book a couple of times, once again after reading Come Quittin' Time by Wilt Browning. I love this book! I know there were plenty of bad things to living in company owned houses but Wilt's family seems to have made the best of it. Wilt is lucky to have such a good family background. Liked reading the positive side of life even though it also chronicled the death of an industry. It is a life gone by and we are all lucky to have read about it.

A Feel-Good Book

I really enjoyed this book. When you read it, you feel like you're sitting in a cozy family room talking to the author who happens to be a really nice guy (and my uncle).
