Kathryn, A Missouri Girl

Ida Kathryn VanMeter tells you first hand about her life from ages 6-10 growing up in a small mid-western farming community from 1918-1922. The events and the people in this book are real and will come alive for you as Kathryn sheds much light on what life was like during those times. You see life when it was simpler, full of little joys, and get a glimpse at school life through one of her diaries. The death of her grandmother, and her grandfather moving cross country, create some challenges for young Kathryn. "But grandfather, I can't bear for you to not be living so close and coming for dinner and to play games," I blurted out. The automobile boom during this time opens some new horizons for Kathryn. But you will mostly enjoy finding out about her real treasures in life. Her time with friends and family are most charming. You will find out the significance of losing a special watch and understand why through the years she would ask people, "Have you heard my watch story?" As you read her story, you will find yourself wanting to share a memory with Kathryn.
