About this listen

Take a journey back to life in Chicago during the 1920s and 1930s Great Depression, as seen through the vivid memories of a child.
The little details can transform your perspective, helping you genuinely value the modern things you have in your life right now!


In this heartfelt tribute, Jessica, the granddaughter of Shirley Castle, explores the profound impact of the Great Depression through her grandmother's memories and experiences. The book weaves personal anecdotes, historical context, and reflections on resilience during challenging times. With a nostalgic introduction, Jessica shares her journey of rediscovering her grandmother's stories and the lessons they impart about hardship.

The Iceman Cometh is a touching tribute to family, resilience, and the importance of remembering our history. It reminds us that even in the darkest times, hope and joy can prevail, inspiring listeners to cherish their own stories and connections.
