Product Description
What is the matter with Jenny Pate’s mother? In the middle of the Great Depression, this family faces its own life-altering catastrophe. How can Jenny’s father, optimistic athlete Clyde, pay the rent and feed his family? Can Jenny, yearning to be a star—to be somebody—and her brother Dale, a wistful writer, fulfill their dreams when their ambitions are eclipsed by family needs, when they are trapped between duty and their own desires? What stories lie in canaries, the jewelry box, Halloween midnight in the cemetery and how prune pits change cowboys?

Like many families today, the Pates practice frugality on an epic scale. Still, they manage to make fun out of nothing. Living on Someday Street, they confront life’s challenges with zany antics, imaginative solutions and great courage. Their story is one of perpetual hope, splashes of humor, and truly great love.
