Down Home in Maine

This delightful book takes you back to a time that is being forgotten. Brenda, or Peggy as she calls herself, was raised by her elderly grandmother and a father old enough to be a grandfather, on a poor Maine farm. In spite of the isolation, the mystery about her mother, and the poverty, she emerges as a bright, self directed, sucessful young woman. The book is full of detail which gives one a sense of the time. The honest account of the authors coming of age should appeal to young readers. This book is a good read and should sell widely. It also would make a good movie. Don't miss it!
