Christmas is eagerly awaited by Lulu, a young girl living in a small Wisconsin town during the Great Depression. Anticipation is transformed into anxiety when Daddy loses his job, doubts about Santa flicker, and that Shirley Temple doll seems further away than ever. Mama reveals her own brutal Christmas as an orphan, adding new worries. But it's Lulu's deep faith and vibrant hope that keeps her looking forward to each new day and the glorious gift of Christmas. In her touching memoir, Ludmilla Bollow, an award-winning playwright and novelist, recounts the year before her family's toughest Christmas. There's a haunting encounter with freaks at a circus sideshow, the heartbreaking loss of the town's recluse who was committed to finding true love, a disastrous Thanksgiving at Grandma's, and, of course, the long-awaited Christmas! Lulu's spirit of love and joy radiates throughout this emotional recall of family life during hard times. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Ludmilla, called Lulu by everyone, is the fourth of six children in the Resik family. She recounts a happy year in her childhood when everything seemed possible, and when she took the first steps from childhood to girlhood. There is plenty of sadness and distress in this large family during tough times. Their father lost his job when the factory closed, and Mama has to clean house for a wealthy doctor’s family to earn some extra money. But they manage to enjoy life – picnics by a river, visits with the farm relatives, a special school play and the hope of a magical Christmas.
It’s a charming memoir of a time gone by.
