About DOG BONE SOUP by Bette A. Stevens:
“Adventures and misadventures to the likes of Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry”
Whether or not You Grew Up in the 1950s and 60s, you’ll find Dog Bone Soup (Historical Fiction) to be soup for the soul. In this coming-of-age novel, Shawn Daniels’s father is the town drunk. Shawn and his brother Willie are in charge of handling everything that needs to be done around the ramshackle place they call home—lugging in water for cooking and cleaning, splitting and stacking firewood…But when chores are done, these resourceful kids strike out on boundless adventures that don’t cost a dime. Dog Bone Soup is the poignant tale of a dysfunctional family struggling to survive at a time when others were living The American Dream.
This family drama and the emotional world of the characters are timeless and relatable.
