To read by the fire in an evening, - laugh, weep, enjoy.!

"To Mamma with Love" it is dedicated, and this is a love story, of growing up well loved at Pinedale. Mrs. Graham has put on paper most thoughtfully her story of growing up in a big family with an artist father in the wonderful north Georgia hills. Her mother, Mamma, was surely little short of an angel, raising almost a dozen kids on a most uncertain income, teaching the children at home in addition to canning and cooking, keeping them all in well-mended togs, and catering to the needs of her husband who had the temperament said to be typical of artists, up in the clouds to down very, very low. The milk cow, the dogs and cats were all pets. If a baby bird died there was a funeral planned and carried out by Brenda and little sister Suzanne. The seasons of the year come to life under Brenda's deft pen. Some problems have solutions and some mysteries are solved. There are some good laughs and some good cries, too! And a big dose of faith in God when death strikes the busy Knight family.
