Barefoot in an Oklahoma Sticker Patch: Memories from Childhood in Rural Oklahoma

Description: Barefoot in an Oklahoma Sticker Patch by Geneva Johnston Hudson These heart-warming vignettes of a childhood spent in rural Oklahoma County during the Great Depression are told in simple narrative style. Embellished with homespun wisdom, they are sure to spark memories of others who grew up in these troubled times in Oklahoma, especially in Oklahoma County when families endured because of their togetherness and personal values. Journey down the memory trail with the author as she shares her vivid recollections of Houghton Lake Resort, Freeman Langstons Farmers Market, riding the interurban, and other long gone experiences from the Oklahoma City scene. Here, too, are memorable characters who peopled the community in which she lived such as "Old Man Stretcher Neck," "Miss Sadie," and "Chief" Burke. Above all, these tales pay tribute to the authors parents who both possessed an unmitigated pride. Dad was proud of what he could accomplish, whether it was the ability to write a three dollar check to feed his family during the depression or something else. Mama, on the other hand, possessed a pride in self, of whom she was, rather than what she could do. Hudson relates with compassion the Christmas of 1931 and how it brought out a tenderness in her Dad that the harshness of his daily life did not allow him to exhibit ordinarily; and of how her mother always seemed to have a knack for meeting the needs of her family in spite of a lack of money.
