Synopsis

One of the large group of "Baby Boomers" born in the years after World War II, Norma J Hill spent many happy childhood days at the home of her grandparents, John and Emily Mott, in the small Okanagan town of Summerland, British Columbia, Canada. Through family letters and photos, plus autobiographica material from her mother's childhood, as well as her own memories, A Summerland Stories Scrapbook: Memories & Memorabilia 1930s-1960s recreates the shared experiences, perceptions, values, and community during those years.

This collection is a record of a small Canadian town in the mid-twentieth century--a community and environment that still reflected old-time values, but was also moving forward into a very different modern world. These stories will have personal meaning and roots for anyone who grew up in Summerland and similar small towns, and for their descendants.

Readers will find themselves nostalgic for a time when community members lived simply and self-sufficiently, engaging together in the agriculture-related work foundational to their town's existence. Life then emphasized loving kindness, humility, generosity, and optimism for a better, more hopeful future. Those pondering whether there is still room for hope today may find there's much we can learn from this historical period.
