Selective Memoirs

About the Book

Selective Memoirs, A Kentucky Woman is a book you may enjoy either as a series of “short” reads, or at one long engaging session. Topics cover such a multitude of true-life events, experienced by one woman over a long life. Wearing many different hats, she was a wife, mother, teacher, social worker, and counselor, just to name a few of the roles she filled. Humor, pathos, danger, and other emotions are embodied in the myriad of events she lived through and the dragons she slew to survive, and to become even more willing and able to face whatever life still has in store for her.

About the Author

One of three daughters, born to very young “Depression Era” parents, my life was the norm for the times. Do without, make do, and survive the best one could. Meals were as regular as enough money or some soup kitchen could make them. School was my sanctuary from all stress. Not only did excellent Catholic High School prepare me to graduate college in less than three years, it also opened many possible careers for me. Writing has always been a major part of whatever I did, both for “service” purposes, newspaper articles, grants, etc. and for the pure pleasure of putting pen to paper for my own satisfaction, but also I hope to add a bit of pleasure to whoever reads these works and recognizes the magic of pictures words create.
