Publisher's Synopsis
The stories, essays, and poems of June Rose speak not only of time gone by, but of a contemporary woman giving us personal glimpses of her rich and grateful journey. Born in 1917, June's early years on a rural Wisconsin farm gave her the outlook that shaped later life as a navy wife, mother of four, founder of a best selling cook-book, and advocate for the blind through braille transcription. In her first writings June tells of rural life: the sometimes isolation, and the joy taken in small things. Farm and family could be an entire universe in a way that may be difficult to imagine today. Living through the Great Depression, she never spent much time missing what she didn't have. As June Rose chronicles her history and journey from country life to a small town and beyond, her core values sustain her through the challenges that always come wherever one may be planted.
