Meadowlark Songs: A Motherline Legacy has joined the throng of new books being published this spring! I’m amazed and humbled.
I’m also exhausted (two dozen years of fibromyalgia now compounded by tests for tummy issues). Alas, no launch party for Meadowlark Songs, no blog hop, no library visits. If you wouldn’t mind sharing posts and reviews about the book, I’d be mighty grateful.
A motherline connects us to lives past, while living in the present and offering strength and resilience for the future.
What do we inherit from our grandmothers besides mtDNA? Heirlooms? Character? Does the past shape our future? The legacy of a small log church was nurtured through my motherline and woven into the blessing and mystery of my own inheritance. Glimpses into the lives of these women, along with cameo appearances of the men they married, reveal a legacy of faith and hope while navigating challenging times through seven generations. (Leora herself is the fifth generation!)
Paperback, hardback, and ebook (available soon) are carried by Amazon.com.
Look for autographed copies locally by May 1 at Art on State in Guthrie Center, the Urbandale Machine Shed Restaurant, and Beaverdale Books in Des Moines (shipping offered 515-279-5400). Hey, an idea for Mother’s Day!
