In this tender but unsparing memoir, Mary Cimarolli remembers a world in which the family home was lost to foreclosure, her father made his way by bootlegging, and school was a haven to hide from her brother's teasing. Her stories are about struggle and survival, making do and overcoming, and, ultimately, reconciliation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom her perspective as a child, she describes the cotton stamps and other programs of the New Deal, the yellow-dog Democrat politics and racism of East Texas, and the religious revivals and Old Settlers reunions that gave a break from working in the cotton patch. The colorful colloquialisms of rural East Texas that dot the manuscript help express both the traditionalism of the region and its changes under the impact of modernization, electrification, and the coming of war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlong with these regional and national trends, Cimarolli skillfully interweaves the personal: conflict between her parents, the death of her brother a few days before his sixteenth birthday, and her own inner tensions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585444472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.24w x 0.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Literary Award - Finalist","brand":"Mary Cimarolli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43644031697077,"sku":"9781585444472","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5d9a7e06-c86b-4d70-9a9c-1e4398c8d4a8.jpg?v=1708446142","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-bootleggers-other-daughter-9781585444472","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
