The goblins must go barefoot

Debby (later published as The Goblins Must Go Barefoot) is the tale of a young widow released from the Home for Delinquent Women to serve as maid and nanny in a small-town, middle-class household. Through the bewildered and astonished eyes of this grown woman with the mind of a child unfolds the poignant story of one southern family during the Great Depression and the early years of World War II.
