605 and Other Places

About the Book

"605 and Other Places" is a collection of stories about a depression-poor, very religious, motherless family consisting of three sisters, a father, grandmother, and a legalistic, domineering aunt.  The stories, told by the youngest sister, are filled with humor and pathos.  They pull back the curtain and let you see into a young heart.  Some of the stories are hilarious, and others will make you cry.
