Step back in time to the tiny farm community of Osage Bend, Missouri, circa 1930-1945... Part memoir, part how-to manual, The Bumpy Road paints a vivid picture of life on the farm during the Great Depression.

These tenacious people always looked to the future with hope and determination, and that comes shining through in this book. Depression-era, yes, depressing, no! So, discover the many facets of running a farm, how chores were done, the importance of family, and the many things that tied the community together. Marvel at the strength and resourcefulness of these rural Missourians-and take some of that for yourself as we endure our own difficult times today.
