It's a slice of American life from the 50's and 60's about a mother of ten, who made money by writing jingles and contests of 25 words or less for a living. She was an early advertising copywriter and did it to survive both monetarily and mentally. Amazing and sweet story.

Apparently there is a movie based on the book too. Now, I'm interested.

Highly recommended.
