Little Heathens

Dear Books 'n' Wine Club,

For our next book we will be travelling back in time to the 1930’s Midwest. Millie Kalish provides readers with her remembrance of her childhood back in the Great Depression era on the family farm in Iowa. Get ready for caring for animals and doing the laundry by hand. A little bit of self-help is included in this gem as readers gain insight on how to skin a rabbit and how to make the best head cheese (“start by scrubbing the head of the pig until it is pink and clean”).

This link takes you to Millie Kalish’s Website for Little Heathens. This Website is packed with good stuff. Make sure you click on the Book Club link to find discussion questions as well as Farm Recipes! You can read more about Millie and why she decided to write her story.

Looking forward to seeing you all at Marrie’s!

Happy Reading,
Jennifer
