The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio: How My Mother Raised 10 Kids on 25 Words

Attracted by the storyline about how a poor mother married to an alcoholic struggled to raise 10 children in 1950s by winning all sorts of contests, I bought this book.  The only thing is the poetry the brave mother wrote is too difficult for me.  I will love the book much more if my English is as good as my old boss's.
