Synopsis
Anderson takes us on a journey to 1950s and 60s Kansas and treats the reader to hometown cooking in her tasty memoir Posts of a Mid-Century Kid. With humor and richly crafted details, she chronicles her mid-century childhood, offering a sampling of another era. This delightful and mischievous memoir advocates coloring vividly outside of the lines!
A fun exploration of vintage toys, traditional festivities and personal growth into adulthood when life was "easy." Ann vividly describes the beauty of the prairie state and the restorative impact of nature in her life. Summers spent at her grandparents' farm, growing up with cousins, and family reunions offer a connection to the halcyon days of the mid-century.
Ann is grounded in her sense of place and the reader will experience the tall grass prairie and the never-ending horizon that Ann shares so beautifully. Through her words, we are transported to the big red barn on her grandparents' farm, to the garden where her grandmother picked sweet red raspberries, and to the beauty of small moments
Posts of a Mid-Century Kid takes the reader on a comforting journey to the farm pond with a cane pole and a can of worms, summer vacations in Colorado, waiting for the seed catalogue with grandmother, and the joy of eating 'rainy day' popcorn balls with mom during a Kansas thunderstorm.
Ann offers generous helpings of comfort-food-reading as she shares family stories and recipes of prize desserts prepared for generations, and gives second servings of hope and strength in the form of experiences shared, and the memories she stirs into her words.
A life this rich also includes heartache. Ann speaks frankly of the loss of her mom and brother at a young age and the challenge of growing up with a father who never became involved in her life. She generously shares how she's created a family from friends, a joyful marriage, and a bond with cats throughout her life.
