DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this his first novel, Frank Lagonigro describes the events and history of his family from his date of birth in 1928 through the Great Depression, the terrible wars, the brief interval of peace under President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the years that followed until the present time. Living in Brooklyn, New York, during the Great Depression was a distressing and an unforgettable experience for our parents. Most children didn't realize the gravity of the era until they read about it in their history books. It was an age before many of the modern amenities such as indoor bathrooms, heating systems, air-conditioning, television, elevators, computers, and other modern-day conveniences. In New York City, the Big Apple, the chief modes of transportation were trolley cars, buses, subway trains, and elevated trains. For a five-cent fare and a two-cent pass, a person could travel through the entire city, from borough to borough using one or several means of travel. The fare on the Staten Island Ferry was a nickel. Mailing a first-class letter required a three-cent stamp, and homes received mail deliveries each morning and afternoon. Bleacher seats at the three baseball stadiums sold for fifty-five cents, and the stars gave freely of their autographs. Long before supermarkets, credit cards, and online transactions, various ethnic groups were employed in specific jobs or as proprietors of specific businesses. Irish people were policemen or firemen. Many German and Italian people labored as sanitation personnel. Jewish people owned candy stores, groceries, and delicatessens. Italians provided haircuts, magazines, bay rum, and gossip in barbershops. And the Chinese were mavens of the hand laundries. Neighborhood saloons were in abundance and managed by the Germans and the Irish. Because the tenement apartments were small and uninsulated, they were hot in the summer and cold during the winter. Boys lived their lives on the streets, playing the simple and inexpensive games such as stickball and touch football. Men worked whenever possible; and their wives cooked, washed, mended clothes, and raised the family. Girls helped their mothers and, when free, played jacks and potsie. The general population were patriotic and God-fearing people. It was the worst and the best of times.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOur Family Had Big Dreams is a multi-generational story about working towards goals while living and learning along the way. Written with honesty, humility, and humour, author Jennifer Murphy’s memoir starts with the story of her parents in England and their dreams, and then follows her life in Canada as a scientist in a field dominated by men. She reflects on how both journeys have also affected the next generation in her family. Jenny’s inspirational story is about breaking traditional moulds and following one’s dreams in two different countries. Her story also provides an interesting insight into the hardships experienced in Britain after the Second World War, into lifestyles in England in the ’50’s and the “swinging ’60’s”, and the differences between cultures and educational systems in England and Canada. It is a story that also shines a light on attitudes towards women in the last 75 years. Jenny uniquely shares her latest adventure in life—returning to university in her seventies—as she continues her lifelong pursuit of knowledge and embracing whatever’s next.
