Growing Up Rich in a Poor Family, Volume 2: 13 New Childhood Memories from the Great Depression Doris Hermundstad Liffrig

In sharing memories of her humble childhood, Doris Hermundstad Liffrig reminds us that material possessions and creature comforts are not necessary for a happy home. "Growing Up Rich in a Poor Family teaches the human reality that 'excess does not equal happiness' bringing a basic Gospel voice that is delightfully hopeful. In bringing a lesson about choices, imagination, and creativity through the story of her own childhood, Doris invites children into truth and wholeness of being. She gives loving and wise awareness to children, parents and grandparents who can know that 'growing up rich' is a perspective of heart" -Msgr. James P. Shea President, University of Mary
