Nana’s Cookbook: A Celebration of the Life of Helen Jane Croft Hartland

Before the grandmother known as Nana, the mother known as Mom or the minister’s wife known as Helen Jane, there was a young girl named Janey. She was born during the roaring twenties, spent her middle childhood and teenage years in the Great Depression, and was a young working girl during World War II. And then she met Jimmy and her life changed in remarkable ways. This is her story…an ordinary woman who lived her life extraordinarily well. Over one hundred and thirty recipes are included. Proceeds support Project Chacocente in Nicaragua.
