Abstract:
There were surprises in store for the author, her brother, and sister as they cleared out the family home at 608 Randolph Street, the house where their parents had lived for almost sixty-nine years. Her stories about family, friends, and events are set against an earlier time in America. You will meet the people who lived in the small community during the 1940s and 50s, read about the town with the red brick streets, and meet Carolyn’s extended family and the neighbors on Randolph Street. You will understand the nostalgia she feels for the little town of Bedford, Iowa, the small town with the big heart.
