Anybody Can Do Anything

About this book

The author of The Egg and I continues her hilariously candid memoir series as she enters the job market at the worst possible time—the Great Depression.
"The best thing about the Depression was the way it reunited our family and gave my sister Mary a real opportunity to prove that anybody can do anything, especially Betty." So begins Betty MacDonald's singular chronicle of trying to make ends meet amid the worst economic downturn in American history.
After surviving both the failed chicken farm - and marriage - immortalized in  The Egg and I, Betty MacDonald returns to live with her mother and desperately searches to find a job to support her two young daughters. With the help of her older sister Mary,  Anybody Can Do Anything recounts her failed, and often hilarious, attempts to find work during the Great Depression.
