Brand New Unread "One for Sorrow, Two for Joy" by Mary Cook

This heartwarming collection features 50 short stories that brilliantly recapture the bittersweet Depression days of the 1930s on a rural Canadian farm. Following the lives of the Hanneman family, these stories bring to life a time when clothing was made from flour bags, and entertainment meant gathering with neighbours in the kitchen for a song and a story. It is a wonderful, nostalgic read filled with grace, humour, and resilience. Price: $8. Pick up in Scarborough (Brimley Rd & Kingston Rd area)
