Amazon Description
During the Depression, after grandfather Clarence loses his job and the bank takes their house, Clarence and his family move to Idaho to harvest potatoes, living in a tent and earning enough money to keep the family together through hard times.One Potato Review
Plain as the burlap bag that its cover appears to be made from, and just as useful too. This is simply a very short history of one family’s experience during the Great Depression, from Iowa to Idaho and beyond. Featuring the tuber as a source of salvation, even romance, and a reminder to pass down to our kids.
