Wee Slip of a Girl by Grace Guemple PDF Summary

Book Description: My Mom died when I had just turned 15 - leaving me, my 5 year old brother and our Dad to cope with life on a Northern MN farm during the 40's, 50's and 60's. Farm work is hard,tough work as I struggled to cook all meals on our wood burning cook stove, hand carry from a distance all water for our home, weekly cleaned our entire 2 story home, baked all bread for next week and washed all the clothes for our family. Which had to be hung on outdoor lines - summer or winter where they froze on the line I had to bring back into the house to hang wherever to finish drying. Electricity brought only one appliance - an iron. Our farm did not have: a phone, frig or a freezer which was an unknown item to our farm family. Trying to balance being a high school teenager with all of my farm/family responsibilities was difficult as I loved and respected my family and at same time wanted to be more involved with school activities and friends. A college education was my dream, I never discussed this with my Dad as he was struggling with lack of income and available job opportunities. My college education became a reality much later in my adult life when I realized I alone had the total financial responsibly for my 4 young children. However difficult this was, lessons learned during my growing up years prepared me for life challenges. And unfortunately there were almost over whelming situations to live through and onward.
