AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Mike Grant had big problems. His father was a drunk, and his older brother was too lazy to get a job. At fourteen there wasn't much Mike could do to help his worried and over-worked mother, she didn't even have a washing machine, and Mike dreamed of surprising her with one on Christmas day.
