Summary

The Summer I Held the Chisel is told by Daisy Ryals, a young girl who relates the accounts of one summer in her life. The majority of the names, places, and events are real. Conversations and sequence of events are created in order to make the audiobook an adventure instead of a nonfiction account. It is a story about a family during the Great Depression, working and living during a difficult time in America's history. It is historical fiction, a story for all ages, an account that will inform some, surprise some, and perhaps provide an insight into an age few care to remember.
