Interesting Memoir

I liked how the author used the many houses she lived in as the framework for recounting her life. She goes from hard times to financial comfort with plenty of joys and sorrows along the way. A first hand view of a child's experience during the Depression. An excellent recounting for today's young women to see how far we've come since the 1940s. Also a view of what the 1960s was like for young married corporate types. Shadows in My House of Sunshine

WOW-a first time author and she's 85 years young!

Shadows in My House of SunshineThis book is a true page-turner! From the moment I picked up Shadows in My House of Sunshine until the moment I finished it I was completely enthralled! Ms. Betts works magic with her words. It is a truly amazing experience to go on her journey of over eight decades from the Great Depression to September 11th . Her personal and honest account of her life is an inspiration! A must read! This book would make a great gift!

A real page turner

Great read

I was in the middle of reading a book I couldn't put down when my wife brought me this book to look at. I opened it and read one page and was hooked. I couldn't put it down until I had finished it. It always amazes me when I find anything in life done by anyone, for the first time, of this excellence. I am an avid reader and often have to fight my way through many books, but not this one. It's a great read. I loved it and so will everyone. Hope Emilie Betts writes again. CCE
