It’s 1970 and Rick has found an incredible tale to write a book about — a little girl who was able to turn the tides of her family’s fortune during the Great Depression. As stories have it, Ruthie may be small, but she is determined, and along the way, many learn not to doubt her just because she isn’t grown. Her work ethic, entrepreneurial heart, and love and generosity weave threads of change through her family — and the world around her. Little Ruthie is a force to be reckoned with and leaves a legacy that needs to be remembered — and shared.
During a harsh cold winter, two families are knit together amidst the hard times of The Great Depression. When two children of kindred spirits meet weeks before Christmas, thanks to a little spinster prayer warrior whose kindness opens the door for a broken grandmother and her three-year-old grandson, friendship is forever found.
Though the frightened little boy’s life seem to be falling apart with no hope in sight, when he is “adopted” by a little girl who longs for a little brother, God is at work. Together they share a bond that lasts a lifetime, and a Christmas filled with joy.
The year was 1972... A young man named Rick Waldrop, fresh out of college, asks the Anderson family for permission to write a book about their story. Throughout the years, he’d heard rumors of how one little girl had pulled her entire family out of poverty during the Great Depression of the 1920’s and 30’s.The fascinating tale of “Ruthie” draws him in, wanting to learn more. But the story quickly becomes something more, and as he gets to know the family, he finds their Christian lifestyle changing his own ways.
For the Anderson family, hot summer days are long and never lazy. When they’re not working hard on their farm, the kids find plenty to entertain themselves by riding their bikes and finding adventure. But the most fun of all centers around the Farm Boys baseball team. The boys practice hard and play fierce and the community rallies around them. On a victorious streak for the third year in a row, the team is set to take the win once again. The next game brings them up against the City Slickers, who aren’t being beat easily. But when dark clouds roll in over sunny skies and the Anderson’s livelihood is threatened, the kids will face hard choices about what’s most important. Do they take the win or do what’s right?

When my grandson Jeremy was four years old, I taught him to read. His early developed skills and love of reading have followed him on throughout school. By using repetition and matching words with pictures, we made reading fun and easy to learn and boosted his reading confidence. In this book, I demonstrate my technique and provide sight words and short sentences to practice. I hope this will bless your children and start them off with a love of reading as well.
