"The best thing about the Depression was the way it reunited our family
and gave my sister Mary a real opportunity to prove that anybody can do
anything, especially Betty."
After surviving both the failed chicken farm - and marriage -
immortalized in The Egg and I, Betty MacDonald returns to live with
her mother and desperately searches to find a job to support her two
young daughters. With the help of her older sister Mary, Anybody Can Do
Anything recounts her failed, and often hilarious, attempts to find
work during the Great Depression.
