Dolly Freed, author of Possum Living

In October 1978, with a seventh-grade education, 19-year-old Dolly Freed published Possum Living: How to Live Well Without a Job and With (Almost) No Money, about the five years she and her father lived off the land on a half-acre lot outside Philadelphia. Possum Living inspired a nation living in an economic crisis, much as we are today. Now, more than 30 years later, the book has been reissued and is sweeping the nation once again.
