A Mile Down Memory Lane is an entertaining, and often humorous, snapshot of life in mid-twentieth century America. The daughter of tenant farmers, Becky grew up in a small farming community near Frankfort, Kentucky. Her story begins in 1942, when she was born in a house without electricity, running water, or indoor plumbing. Life on the farm was hard, but her family faced it with determination, resourcefulness, and love. With an empathic and amusing voice, Becky shares intimate moments from her childhood: gathering eggs from the henhouse, coloring with her mother by the light of a coal oil lamp, and the joy of a brand new feed sack dress. Eventually, the young farm girl grew up, fell in love, and raised a family of her own. Underpinning each memory is the courage of a strong woman surviving hardships, and finding joy in every day life.
