Product Description Soft Hearts and Hard Times is the true story of a little boy who's age of awareness coincided with beginning of the Great Depression. It tells the story of how he and his family endured; and how the dismal events of the day affected them. It demonstrates how, even in the worst of times, there is still time for a boyish pleasure or two. About the Author Tom McLoughlin has been a artist and writer in Chicago since 1950. Prior to that time he spent ten years as an engineer aboard oil tankers, cargo ships, and naval destroyers. In his travels he discovered that compared to life in distant lands the Great Depression was not so bad after all.
