It took me about a month to finish this book which is rare for me. But I commit myself to finish once I start. So Daniel wakes up one morning and leaves his family during the Great Depression to go and find work and handle some unfinished business. The only problem is his family has no idea. His wife is left with three kids and a newborn her husband doen't know about. While he travels the country looking for work to take care of his family and deals with the nughtmares of the war, his wife has her own nightmares to deal with and no idea where to find her husband. This book is full of interesting "adventures" for all parties involved. If you can make it through the first half of the book with the slow start you won't put it down after that.

Hand Made: The Modern Woman's Guide to Made-from-Scratch Living by Melissa K. Norris is a beautiful book. The book is part memoir and part cook book. The book looks at ways to make things homemade and the wisdom of the Depression era that can help make recipes simpler.

I enjoyed this book because the author shares recipes that had been handed down to her. The recipes were easy and adaptable. There were some good tips on growing herbs and suggestions for kitchen organization. The book also contains recipes for making soap and candles. 

I highly recommend this book for those that enjoy making things from scratch or want to learn to do it more often. Melissa Norris includes personal stories and some scripture in some parts of the book that I enjoyed reading as well.

I received this book from Harvest House Publishers via NetGalley.
