Description "Chris Dickins's tale of a family battling the Great Depression of the 1930s comes to life as one of its members sits, later in life, at a solitary desk to record her history...as Elizabeth chronicles her family's hardships and torments - in which characters escape through music and dreams - Dickins unfolds a simple story about the search for a lost treasure, a pot of gold to end the Kidds' woes."
