In this warm and witty memoir, Haven Kimmel takes us back to a small-town America where people helped their neighbors, went to church on Sunday, and kept barnyard animals in their backyards. When Haven Kimmel was born in 1965, Mooreland, Indiana, was a sleepy little hamlet of 300 people. Nicknamed ?Zippy? for the way she would bolt around the house, this small girl was possessed of big eyes and even bigger ears. She lived in a world filled with a loving family, peculiar neighbors, and multitudes of animals, and she remembered everything: sick birds, a new bike, the mean old lady down the street, the loud old man at the drugstore. Laced with fine storytelling, sharp wit, dead-on observations, and moments of sheer joy, Kimmel's straight-shooting memoir gives us a heroine who is wonderfully sweet and sly.
