About the Book

This is the story of Lorna Elizabeth Witts childhood growing up in the Los Angeles area. Elizabeth relates her memories of such grim events as the Great Depression, which forced her family to move to a small cabin on Seal Beach, and the Long Beach earthquake. She also recalls normal events of girlhood, such as vacations, summer camp, school, birthdays, and the small joys and tribulations of living with two sisters. Spoken from a child's perspective, she brings to her recollections a straightforward practicality, genuineness, and enjoyment of new and exciting experience.
