We Were Not Spoiled chronicles the life of Lucille Verreault Ledoux, a Mainer born in 1921. Born and raised in Lewiston, her life is typical of many Franco-Americans of her generation and, as such, is an important addition to our understanding of Maine’s ethnically diverse communities in the last century.

This version includes many photographs that are not found in the Kindle/Nook versions.

This memoir helped me understand what life was like for my ancestors, and appreciate modern conveniences, as well as the vast store of knowledge each relative possesses. Special thanks to Lucille & Denis for making this book available!

The story continues into Lucille’s adulthood and her marriage. The time includes the Great Depression and World War II where her husband was away in the war. I found it a most enjoyable read since I love these homespun memories. I wish more people would take the time to collect their parents’ stories and commit them to paper.
