Quinney begins by chronicling the numerous nooks and crannies filled with a century and a half worth of mementos his family left behind in their southern Wisconsin farmhouse. The attempt at salvaging a much beloved brown canvas coat lined with sheepskin, an attic treasure of a beloved father, fails. Some memories are meant for holding only “in our hearts and minds,” writes Quinney.
The storybook is filled with illustrations taken from the scrapbook, some which were Victorian cards with festive winter scenes and holiday sentiments. Although not released until January 3, 2010, this memoir makes a remembrance gift of a long-ago era appropriate anytime.
