Warts and All

About the Book

Warts and All is a collection of short stories from the childhood experiences of Afton Lovell, a small-town girl with a big imagination. The youngest of eight children growing up during the Great Depression, Afton found a rich collection of early life experiences through friends, family, and the wide open spaces of central Utah. She later went onto marry and raise a family of her own in the suburbs of Salt Lake City but she never forgot those special memories from her childhood and now shares her favorite ones with you! Stories that will both warm the heart and tickle the soul. Stories of a simpler time and place that we all long for in a busy world.
