Description: Cherry Street Alley by Ernest R. House Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A butcher knife whistled and crackled through gristle and bone as grandma cut through rabbits and squirrels. Browned, crisped, and mixed with a gravy made from milk, flour, and meat drippings, this was served as the daily feast. That was 1939 in Depression-era Alton, Illinois, when Ernest R. House was born. So begins Cherry Street Alley, his memoir of a childhood filled with adventures, mishaps, and family sagas. House endures poverty and a rotating cast of guardians. Born into an extended family, he and his sister are sent to live with relatives after his father dies suddenly and his mother remarries. He recounts stories of coming-of-age in a rough neighborhood of Alton, a former riverboat town along the Mississippi River. Many remembrances are dotted with humor-such as growing up next to a whorehouse and having people mistake your home for it. Theres violence in Houses outlines of his relatives, including his fathers loving-but criminal-personality. Theres also compassion in a memoir about a familys struggles to survive. Told in the style of popular childhood memoirs Angelas Ashes and This Boys Life, Cherry Street Alley is a book you wont soon forget. Author Biography Ernest R.
