thought they would simply write the story of Linda Killinger’s grandparents
who, with seven of their thirteen kids, took a fifteen-month trip across the
country visiting relatives and the national parks, in their brand new 1930
Model A Ford.
Very quickly, they realized this was not just a simple
story. Instead, they began to see it as a reveal of how this moment of history
affected not only their grandparents’ family, but the generations to come, in
the same way these historic events have affected so many other families. Levi’s
Dream presents a living history of twentieth-century America.
