Nephew Joe Naylor, living in Connecticut, found his long-lost, ninety-year-old aunt Vera in Utah in 1994 and they began a telephone correspondence in which she told him story after story of her childhood and growing up in one of the most geographically inaccessible areas of the United States Boulder, Utah. In early 1900s, Vera Hansen was but an eight-year-old girl, yet she was the oldest female child in the family. When her father died of miner's lung, her mother told Vera she would have to assume great responsibility for her many young brothers and sisters. Times were hard.Her sensitive and thoughtful mother told Vera to take some time each day and writestories about her life. She did and during extensive long distance calls between Joe Naylor and Vera, these stories were told and recorded by Joe. He felt them worthy of publication. Many photos are included, both from the early 1900s and the mid-1990s. Signed By Author.
