Sinopse
Many Hands Make Light Work is the rollicking true story of a family of nine children growing up in the college town of Ames, Iowa, in the ’60s and ’70s. Inspiring, full of surprises, and laugh-out-loud funny, this utterly unique family champions diversity and inclusion long before such concepts become cultural flash points.
Cheryl and her siblings are the offspring of an eccentric professor father and unflappable mother. Mindful of their ever-expanding family’s need for cash, her parents begin acquiring tumbledown houses in the campus town to renovate and rent.
Dad, who changes out of his suit and tie into a carpenter’s battered white overalls, like Clark Kent into Superman, is supremely confident his offspring can do anything, whether he’s there or not.
Mom, an organizational genius disguised as a housewife, manages nine children so deftly that she finds the time - and heart - to take in student boarders, who stir their own offbeat personalities into this unconventional household.
The kids, meanwhile, pour concrete, paint houses, and, at odd moments, break into song, because instead of complaining, they sing as they work, like a von Trapp family in painters caps.
Free-wheeling and contagiously cheerful, Many Hands Make Light Work is a winsome memoir of a heartland childhood unlike any other.
