Chapters of Life has published the fourth book written by S.T. Sweeney, a talented artist and prolific author in her eighties. Hayseed Bicentennial shares stories of growing up during the 1930s and 1940s in the rural New York communities of Lee Center, Lee, Stokes, Delta, West Lee, Point Rock, and West Branch.
Her first book, Hayseed, describes her childhood stories of growing up in New York and Hayseed II shares additional recollections of life in the first half of the 20th century.
Her book Tunnel Stiffs talks about the transient lifestyle and friendships formed among those people who built tunnels and dams throughout the United States during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.
This terrific lady has a demeanor that exudes sunshine and happiness. What a treasure!
Nice short commentary on this writer.
My grandmother and aunts are in this book and I would like information on how to purchase Hayseed and Hayseed II. Please let me how I would purchase them.
Thank You

The stories of growing up in a large family in New York during the Great Depression are priceless. I hope you enjoy reading them.
