Pete of the Hill

Set against the backdrop of late 19th and early 20th-century America, this audiobook recounts the life of Peter O. Peterson Jr., who emigrated from Sweden to Illinois, and explores his family’s experiences through the memories of his daughters, Agnes and Edna. Their recollections, captured in interviews from 1983, offer poignant and sometimes humorous insights into social struggles, economic hardships, and historical moments such as the Great Depression and F.D.R.'s New Deal. The narrative provides a personal glimpse into a family's resilience across changing eras.
