I met Marion when I was very young. She fed me, clothed me, taught me right from wrong, but mostly she loved me. I never for a moment doubted her love -- even when, and there were times, I certainly didn’t deserve it. She showed me that family, friends and God are paramount and there is no greater joy, no higher purpose, than to love. She gave me life and forged my soul; for that, I am eternally in her debt. Which is why I’m writing this. I figure it’s payback. And even though I know this will be scattered, absorbed and lost in the digital deluge, I am proud to write it. These stories are my inheritance, and like all inheritances, I intend to squander them with great abandon. I will tell and retell these stories with all who dare cross my path. I will send this book far and wide and I will force all my so-called friends to Like it on Facebook. Not as an act of blatant commercialism, but rather one of pride. I could not be prouder of my mother. She has accomplished and conquered so much and has remained a loving and caring example of the best of humanity.

What a lovely journey the author takes us on. From tales of her childhood to her marriage and the careful building of her own family. Funny, touching and tear inducing pages of far away lands and the reality of relationships that must be endured. I found "Molly and Me" to be thoughtful account of life in Wales seen through the eyes of a little girl - her coming to America and her quest to stay and make a new start. We are treated to an array of visuals through Ms. Bemehn's written word.
A book that serves as a treat in so many ways. Prepare to dog-ear the pages often, there are tales you will wish to revisit more than once.
