by Mel Eaton Matuszak (Author)
Accustomed to life in a small town in Kansas, Mary "Mel" Eaton longs to travel. But, in the '40s and '50s traveling was not commonplace, nor cheap. College, followed by marriage to Don Matuszak, changes her world and her vision of other places, cultures, and people. Her husband's work sends their family from one end of the country to the other, and soon moving becomes their way of life. Instead of being overwhelmed, Mel, Don, and their girls grow to love each new experience and look forward to every different adventure. Their children overcome the obstacles of being the "new kid" and sometimes not fitting in right away. They all learn that change can be a challenge, but also a way to view life's ups and downs through understanding, love, and a healthy dose of laughter. Dive into this fun memoir that includes an abbreviated lesson in history, geography and the various lifestyles of mid-to-late 20th century America.
