In A Generation Speaks, the members of Writers Discussion Group of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and their friends share their tales of coming of age during the Great Depression.

These stories take place all over America: from farms in the dust bowl to neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Cleveland; from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Detroit; from a truck farm in Wisconsin to a street in Dayton, Ohio. The writers share their stories of what it was like to grow into adulthood during a time of economic disaster. A Generation Speaks is a true portrait of the time between the World Wars, a time when family and friends came together to weather the storm.

The Writers' Discussion Group was founded in 1991. This is their second collection. Their first, Echoes, was published in 1997.
