My Mother Once Told Me... Carol A Schauer

From the rural plains of the Midwest to California in the Great Depression,
through the Women's Movement of the 1970s, to current day,
embrace three generations of strong women. TETHERED BY THE UNBREAKABLE BOND of mother and daughter, these three women share a powerful history. Fannie, the adventuresome one, endlessly resourceful in solving challenges (even those brought on by her alcoholic husband); Barbara June, the survivor, relentless in preventing her circumstances and deprivations to be defining; and Carol who tries to pull it all together. As you read of their challenges and triumphs, reflect on your mom and your mom's mom and marvel at the experiences all daughters share as well as the unique and powerful messages each mother passes to her daughter through words and actions. The lessons may be bold or subtle, loving or seemingly cruel, and the learning may be consciously or unconsciously rejected, embraced, or mirrored, but they're always there. My Mother Once Told Me... is a loving, funny, heartfelt tribute to who came before author Carol Schauer, because "once it's written it's there forever."
