Seeing the thread for WW2 homefront fiction inspires me to ask for
suggestions about books set in the US during the Depression. I am
especially interested in the experiences of ordinary people, the kind who
didn't starve and didn't lose their home but had to practise "economies." I
will be glad to compile if there's interest.

Spencer's Mountain by Earl Hamner. This is the book that was the basis for the Walton's "Homecoming" Christmas TV movie; it eventually was followed by the TV series.
