Author Verne Patten was born the month the huge stock market crash of 1929 occurred, which started the worst seven years of depression the USA has ever experienced. Verne’s parents sometimes brought homeless strangers to the house for a meal and a warm place to sleep overnight.

Much of the information and background for Somewhere Every Day was gleaned from conversation with stre
