This is a biography about an Iowa town and the family that cherished it, making it more than just the place they lived. As seen through the eyes of a child growing up, the reader becomes a member of that family, its loyalties to each other, its laughter and deep sadness. There is an innocence about those desperate years. A parent's anguish goes unnoticed with the promised delights of childhood. Shielded from the realities of the hardness of the times, a generation grew up in the shadow of want and the finality of the atomic bomb.
Award-winning writer Patricia Linder, has given us Row, Row, Row Your Boat and The Lady and the Tiger which has received the 2006 Silver Medal for Memoirs from the Military Writers of America.
Patricia Linder has written Just for Joy — just for the joy of reliving a childhbood spent during historic years. This is her third book and it focuses on a particular time of significance to her country and to the small Iowa town that survived a world war, only to slide into a twelve year Depression, a mini ice-age of the Thirties and another World War that would end only with the use of an atomic bomb.
Although the subjects are familiar to most Americans, how a family and their town fares during these momentous times brings out the solid strengths of that part of the United States known as the "Breadbasket of America".
The author's previous books, Row, Row, Row Your Boat and The Lady and the Tiger offer the reader a view (and viewpoint) of the complicated, but exciting adventures she meets as the wife of a career Naval Officer. Her career spans three decades and ends with her husband's final tour of duty in Taiwan, Republic of China during the desperate political times of the late seventies.
