Download A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland, Indiana AudioBook Free
The New York Times bestselling memoir about growing up in small-town Indiana, from the author of The Solace of Leaving Early.
When Haven Kimmel was created in 1965, Mooreland, Indiana, was a sleepy little hamlet of 3 hundred people. Nicknamed "Zippy" for the way she'd bolt throughout the house, this small girl was possessed of big eyes and even bigger ears. In such a witty and lovingly told memoir, Kimmel takes readers back to a time when small-town America was caught in the amber of the innocent postwar period–people helped their neighbors, went to church on Sunday, and kept barnyard animals in their backyards.
Laced with fine storytelling, sharp wit, dead-on observations, and moments of sheer joy, Haven Kimmel's straight-shooting portrait of her childhood gives us a heroine who's wonderfully sweet and sly as she navigates the quirky adult world that surrounds Zippy.
