Sharecropping in North Louisiana is the true story of the hardships Lillian's family faced during the Great Depression and World War I I. The word-pictures Lillian paints are vivid and will bring to life for readers a time when people were forced to get by with what they had.

Join Linda in listening to her mother's stories once more.
