Grandmom Bea Tells It All Tales of the 1930 eBook Beatrice Godick Feder
Remembrance is the only way to rekindle the past. We all get involved in our daily lives, and can forget, quickly and easily, those items or memories imbedded in the past. Sometimes memories are stored in a family member's personality. Beatrice Feder seems to be one of those people. In "Grandmom Bea Tells It All - Tales of the 1930s" she summons the reader to tell her life events. We have to set the mood: Grandma Bea is in a big comfortable chair, after dinner. We are her audience. She starts to relate her life in episodes. Here's where the trip to the past begins.She has a good memory, and explains gadgets, sucha as how an "ice" box really worked, or how clothes were washed and dried before machines. We see the old radio and its lighted tubes, we can taste the smoked fish, and empathsize with a family's plight in the Depression. And, she is a good speaker, and a good writer. Like any senior person, she can repeat some things, but this only makes our involvement stronger.
I have a connection with these memories. I grew up in an old-world Polish neighborhood in Philadelphia, among immigrants, my maternal grandparents, crazy aunts and uncles, old traditions and foreign languages. I loved that world. It was only twenty years after Grandma's stories, but some things were still around, like the penny candies and those "new" washing machines with the wringers to get water out of the clothes. It is a world wiped clean by our currrent technology.
Anyone who had grandparents or parents born in the 30s should read this book. It helps us to understand those generations, and their particular challenges. So, turn off the cell phone, unplug the IPod, (turn on the Kindle) and taek a trip back in time. You're in pleasant, comfortable company with Grandma Bea.
Thanks, Grandma Bea, for the connection to our past. I really enjoyed the trip!

Grandmom Bea Tells It All Tales of the 1930 eBook Beatrice Godick Feder Reviews
This is such an amazing story that I read in one sitting from cover to cover on a nice, beautiful day outside in the sun! I could imagine it would be nice to read while sitting around the fire, too, as I can just imagine Grandmom Bea telling me about the stories of her past like back in the days when I was babysat as a li'l youngster. The tales of the early days of the twentieth century is not only great to hear about her personal life growing up in the tough times, but this really shows a first hand account of what things were like--much better for the visual and imagination than a historical political textbook, which could only tell generalities about life for the people back then. Grandma Bea really does tell it all, and then some. P I just want to hear more from her!!
