About this book
This memoir recalls the lives of three sisters growing up in East Texas during the Depression and World War II. Their father and uncle were partners in a lumber mill, which required them to move many times. It was difficult changing schools and meeting strange new kids. The strength and faith of their mother and the closeness of their three female cousinsSister, Tad, and Tootmade it easier to cope after their father died. Although sad at times, this memoir is amusing and heartwarming.
Walk with Alma Hereford through the pages of Wild Grapes as she and her sisters come of age in the heartland of Depression-era Americaheartwarming, empathetic, and very funny.Georgia I. Hesse, founding travel editor of the San Francisco Examiner

- āOnce a Texan, always a Texan,ā I heard my sisterās daughter say, āand if I can, Iāll see that my children are born in Texas.ā I might have said the same thing at one time, until I found other fair places. Yet sometimes I get a longing I canāt describe and I start rememberingā¦Ā .
- Heās the Lily of the valley, the Bright and Morning Star,Heās the Fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
- āOh Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land, as on thy highest mount I standAnd look away across the sea where mansions are prepared for meā
- This world is not my home, Iām just a passing through.If heavenās not my home, dear Lord what shall I do?
- Will the circle be unbroken, by and by, Lord, by and by?Is there a better home awaiting, in the sky, Lord, in the sky
- Have we trials and temptations, is there trouble anywhere?We should never be discouraged, take it to the Lord in prayer.
- God will take care of you, thru every day, oāer all the wayHe will take care of you. God will take care of you.
- I come to the garden alone, while the dew is still on the rosesAnd the voice I hear, falling on my ear, the son of God discloses
- Great is Thy faithfulness, morning by morning, new mercies I seeAll I have needed, Thy hands have provided
- This world is not my home, Iām just a passing through.My treasures are laid up for me somewhere beyond the blue.
- In the shady green pastures, so rich and so sweet,God Leads His dear children along
