Mt. Desert Maine, Windswept Book House, (1992). VG PB. These essays appeared originally in the York County Coast Star from 1984-1986, "I was raised in the atmosphere of proverbs. and superstitions, homemade bread and the New Deal. The influence of the Puritans nourished the precepts of my upbringing as surely as an underground river feeds the roots reaching down to the earth. Outward expression of love as well as any manufestations of weakness were stoically repressed There was the farm, a world of its own slumbering in the somnolent summer heat; locked in the dazzling crystal of a snowbound winter. I can only guess at my father's disappointment when I was born another girl to make three" Includes news release and review copy card from Windswept House, sent to Jack Barnes of Hiram for his book review.
