About This Book
Long before Betty MacDonald became known as the author of The Egg And I, she was a hard-working single mother in Seattle, Washington. After struggling to hold down a series of jobs during the first few years of the Depression, she managed to get hired on as a Federal government clerk, which brought some measure of security to her family.
