Book Description
This is a true story about growing up in and around the Cabinet mountains and Clark Fork, Idaho. It recounts the lives of many family members, especially my mother and father and their lives before us children came along, and on through their lives until they passed. Many memories of mine as I grew up and how life was so very different than it is now, and how we made it through the wars, rations, medical issues with little care and more...I think you will enjoy this as much as I had writing it, as it has a fair amount of humor, all of it true. Please read this and pass it on to your family members, order more for holidays and such, as it is written about a time that most have forgotten and one that I will always remember.The reasons for the various name spellings of my name Cora Bell Trott, is because I was born Corabell Macumber. Everyone called me that. As I grew older, I shortened it to two names, Cora and Bell. Have gone by Cora ever since.Thank you very much,Cora Bell Trott

The Social Study of Childhood
Author: Sally McNamee
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1349935883
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Historically, children were often understood in relation to their development towards adulthood, but the 'new paradigm' of childhood studies has since shown how they should be taken more seriously as active participants in their own lives. Studying childhood is not just a question of research on children, but increasingly a practice of research with them. With this 'new paradigm' having now come of age, Sally McNamee offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of childhood studies and its history. Taking a thematic approach, she looks at how issues such as rights and citizenship, the state, the family, school, work, leisure, health and globalisation shape and are shaped by children. The Social Study of Childhood is an accessible introduction for students from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds such as childhood studies, sociology, psychology, social work and education. With reflection points for discussion and suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, it is an engaging and stimulating account of how and why children's voices deserve to be heard in today's world.

Growing Up in the Piedmont Triad
Author: Alice E. Sink
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1614238065
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
North Carolina's Piedmont Triad was a magical place to grow up in the '40s and '50s. Time ticked slowly with The Lone Ranger on black-and-white TV sets, newspaper cartoons like Roy Rogers and nine-cent Saturday morning kiddie movies. Teens joined the Latin Club, danced at the city swimming pool's upstairs pavilion and swooned over Elvis Presley at the YMCA. Parents hosted bridge parties, followed Sam Sneed at the Greensboro Open and listened to Ella Fitzgerald at Club Kilby. Travel back with local author Alice Sink to the halcyon days of country fairs, stock car racing at Bowman Gray Stadium and Betty Crocker. Featuring nostalgic Triad recipes and an "Older than Dirt" quiz, this compendium of memories will make anyone of a certain age with roots around these parts feel like a kid in a candy store.

Chinaberries and Beyond
Author: Patricia L. Bostic
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512782912
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Patricia is born during WWII when racial segregation is a way of life, particularly in the south. A few years earlier in the small cotton mill town her father’s poor judgment forces her parents and eventually their eight children to live in a crude, unpainted, three-room dwelling located in an isolated area of four houses for African Americans. They have no electricity or running water, and a stone-covered spring in the woods becomes a special place for mischief. A single tree, a chinaberry, adjacent to the house serves many purposes. Home, church, and school are the Littletons’ family core, while their experiences are laced with fun, humor, and mischief. However, when temperamental Hazel, an adult bully, moves next door, there are conflicts, which escalate into unnerving, dangerous situations, especially with Patricia’s easygoing, soft-spoken mother. Hazel ridicules Patricia, who is smart, timid, and labeled a crybaby and stubborn in school. By high school, Patricia blossoms and becomes popular, but later her father warns her of wooden nickels. www.chinaberriesandbeyond.com
