A Loaf Of Bread On A Table Bread: A Memoir Of Hunger

About the Book

Bread: A Memoir of Hunger is a beautifully written and deeply moving memoir that explores the complexities of hunger, both physical and emotional. Set against the backdrop of a working-class family in the rural Midwest during the 1970s and 1980s, this book tells the story of a young girl named Kenka who struggles to find her place in a world that often seems indifferent to her suffering.

Kenka's family is poor, and food is often scarce. Her parents work long hours at low-paying jobs, and they often have to rely on government assistance to make ends meet. Kenka and her siblings are often hungry, and they often have to go without basic necessities. But despite the challenges they face, Kenka's family is full of love and resilience.
