Sample Book Insights:

#1 I grew up with the living embodiment of the strength, devotion, and intelligence Laura Ingalls Wilder described in her books. My mother, Frae Ella Berry, was a one-room-schoolhouse teacher who married a man who was a devoted partner but whose restlessness also challenged all her strength.

#2 My mother’s story was that she and her sister Edith, her big sister, grew up in San Jose. Their father, who they called Daddy, had met their mother, Frae, in a take-out stand in Missouri. They left Missouri after their mother died.

#3 My parents had wanted to have a family, but they had suffered several miscarriages. When they heard about Dr. Penland, they decided to try again. Their baby was positioned and ready, but I wasn’t.

#4 I was born in 1942. My parents were very optimistic, and when the doctor delivered me, my parents were able to buy a house in Oakland. But things did not go well in Gilroy, and my parents had to move to help their sister.
