Bluestocking
"BLUESTOCKING is a powerful, back-to-basics tribute to the American working class family, and to the courageous people who press on against all odds to make good things happen. A humorous and inspirational piece of Americana, this book has a genuine simplicity that pulls you in, and transcends the unsuspecting reader. Sprinkled with entertaining great period images and historical tidbits, this moving, nostalgic memoir has life changing power. The message of gratitude is presented with class and humor in this unforgettable, artistically shaped true story. A must read for anyone longing for the return of the core values that made our country great.
The fact that this woman raised all those kids with no husband, no help and no money and received absolutely no recognition, is something that needed to be rectified. I hope my book encourages others to write down their own stories, which can be as important as any other piece of American Literature.""

I certainly recognized the stories of growing up in a small town, where everybody knows your name and most people seem to' have more' than you do - I found it well written, sentimental and entertaining. I was quite impressed with the number of kids that made it through college -- all 9 of them! That is a hardworking, committed, intelligent family!
