Listen to the author,
Eva Mewes,
read from
Hubey Gets Me Hitched
|
Hubey Gets Me Hitched
"My name is Dan Garnett, and I want to say a few words of inroduction. I am an old man now.
That means I can remember a lot more things about the old days than yesterday.
The stories I write down are probably going to be mostly about Hubey since he involved
himself in almost everything I did. It was the 1930's, the middle of the Great Depression.
We didn't have much cash money, but we always had plenty to eat. We got by and had some darn
good times, too."
And so Dan begins his entertaining peek into how his foster-uncle Hubey helped him
navigate life's challenges, sometimes wisely, sometimes unsuccessfully, but always humorously.
“Eva writes with a great understanding of Wisconsin's rural soul. Anyone who lived during
or after The Great Depression will have touching memories of their own journey stirred to life.
A great read!”
Larry Heagle, comedian and entertainer
“Speaking through the character of a retired farmer named Dan Garnett, Eva
Mewes captures the lean, matter-of-fact feel of how one family navigated
tragedy and Great Depression with fortitude and humor (most provided by
Dan's prankster "foster-uncle" Hubey). This is a book of wisdom and
reminiscence, served with a smile...and sometimes (ghost-written marriage
proposals on the side of a barn, anyone?) a laugh worthy of Hubey's
bowl-of-jelly belly. ”
Michael Perry, author, Population 485

“We may be a more civilized society with all our political
correctness now-a-days, but it seems to me we have all become carbon copies of each other
in the process. Eva Mewes recalls a time when everybody had an Uncle Hubey who was a little
too nosey, a little bit bossy, but a heck of a fun neighbor! If you grew up in the days when
being labeled "quite a character" was a compliment, you will laugh till the milk comes out
your nose while reading Hubey Gets Me Hitched. ”
Nancy Erickson, amazon reviewer, book inhaler
