Anybody Can Do Anything by Betty MacDonald

Some of you may recognize Betty MacDonald as the author of the Mrs. Piggle Wiggle books.  But did you know that MacDonald wrote the Egg and I which was turned into a film starring Claudette Colbert and Fred McMurray? The book Anybody Can Do Anything describes how Betty MacDonald became a published writer after leaving her husband and the chicken farm so lovingly described in The Egg and I.  MacDonald packed up her two kids and hitched a ride back to Seattle to move back home with her mother, brother, and sisters.  The family survives the Great Depression in grand style, working every job they can, sharing their house and food with all they meet, and having a good time despite having no money!  256 p.
