It wasn't easy being a young boy in Price, Utah, during the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s, not with the name of Shirley Edwin and a birthday on April Fool's Day, not when your best friends were immigrants and the KKK hated them and you, and not when one disaster after another tore at your family and town. Read how little Eddie dealt with the challenges of his early exposure to the realities of death, political conflict, labor strife, and ethnic prejudice. His experiences with family and friends taught him the importance of love, faith, honesty, and acting promptly on impulses to do good. The result is a heart-warming story of love, loyalty, and learning.
Growing Up Tough takes place in a town still in transition between the old west and the modern world. We are in a similar period of transition, and the lessons learned then can be applied to our time, dealing with personal character and relationships, assimilating immigrants, and reconciling political and cultural differences between people
