Shoutin' Into the Fog by Thomas Hanna

Subtitle: Growing up on Maine's Ragged Edge -- Hanna grew up on Georgetown Island dirt poor.   He was the second of eight children who had to become the 'man of the family' at a very young age.  There were times that he had fun and adventures were had, but there was a lot of nothing most of the time.  Ending up in the Navy was a good turn of events for him and shaped the rest of his life.  I know that life isn't easy for many, but when I read about someone growing up in a home that has cardboard for insulation on the walls and the floor is frozen in the winter time it changes how you look at things.
