Memories of a Country Girl: A Magical Voyage Through the Days of Yesteryear

This is a story about the life of a country girl who unravels in cursive prose and poetry during the last decade of her life. As memories whirled in her mind, she sat complacently in her favorite chair, rocking and embroidering. Then she stopped rocking, put the embroidery down, and reached for a pencil and paper. Through her eyes, we see the treasures of forestry and changing seasons, colorful birds and animals, and culture and ideals. We feel again the lament and faith of our ancestors who come alive in the unceasing cycle of life.

I had the privilege of editing Nettie’s labor of love in its early stages. Memories of a Country Girl is a book you can get lost in. Thanks for being my mother, for a great read, and for your grace in telling it so well. Perhaps one day our space traveling great grandchildren will find treasures that we, too, leave behind.
