In their collection of remembrances, fiction, interviews, poetry and essays, the Writers Discussion Group of Chapel Hill, North Carolina and their friends recall the days of the Great Depression. These stories take place all over America: from farms in the dust bowl to neighborhoods in Brooklyn; from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Detroit; from a truck farm in Wisconsin to a street in Dayton, Ohio. The writers share their stories of what it was like to grow into adulthood during a time of economic disaster. A Generation Speaks is a true portrait of the time between the World Wars, a time when family and friends came together to weather the storm. [Goodreads]
