Publisher's Summary

Yes, her house did look like a shoe and she did have a LOT of children and she often did not know what to do. But she was a prudent and loving lady who took all 16 of them in and they somehow managed to not just grow, but thrive and grow healthier on the little food she could afford. That and of course the spanking they all got to help them grow. She may be short on food and their beds may be cramped and their clothes patched and old, but there was never a lack of love for any of them in her 'shoe' home.

This story finally gives us the 'true' facts of how this all came about, both how she had so many children to care for and how her house gradually came to resemble a gigantic shoe. You know you want to know how this happened, don't you? I certainly did and am much happier now that it is all explained fully and neatly. Give it a listen!
