Description
This touchingly honest memoir, A Mother's Story: Memories from the Turtle Creek Valley, follows the life of author Maryann B. Lawrence from early childhood through the Great Depression, into the uncertain years of World War II, followed by the fabulous 1950s and beyond. Her story offers a slice of small town life from bygone days on the hill known as Electric Plan, in the small town of Turtle Creek in beautiful, southwestern Pennsylvania. This captivating story also provides a historic glimpse into the lives of her parents and immigrant grandparents as they assimilated into American culture and society. We witness their challenges and their joys. By providing a detailed and fascinating look at her entire family, we gain a greater understanding and appreciation of the contribution that was made by each family member. This delightful, true-to-life account follows Maryann into marriage, motherhood, and maturity, in a conversational style that warms your heart!
