A Gal Growing Up Green Creek is a collection of memories seen through the eyes of a young girl living in a small midwestern community in the 1960s and 70s. Green Creek was more than a place. It was a way of life. In the four-room schoolhouse Anita attended, the teachers played softball with their students after the dismissal bell rang. This book contains cherished recollections of a much simpler time when childrens' imaginations took them on journeys. These pages share a way of life now lost to time and memory. For readers who grew up in the country, this book may spark joyful memories or perhaps evoke a few tears. Those unfamiliar with rural life may discover a world outside their experience.
