Description

When they first began working on this book, the authors thought they would simply write the story of Linda Killingers grandparents who, with seven of their thirteen kids, took a fifteen-month trip across the country visiting relatives and the national parks, in their brand new 1930 Model A Ford.

Very quickly, they realized this was not just a simple story. Instead, they began to see it as a reveal of how this moment of history affected not only their grandparents family, but the generations to come, in the same way these historic events have affected so many other families.Levis Dream presents a living history of twentieth-century America.
