Reminiscences Of My Mother Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Reminiscences of My Mother In these notes and reminiscences I do not pretend to write a history of my mother, Merancy Beadle, but simply to record such recollections as I have of her, and such facts concerning her as are matters of common belief in our family, without claiming to put them in chronological order. I am persuaded that those of her liv ing descendants who had the privilege of knowing her personally, will be pleased to recall her admirable traits of character, and this persuasion is accompanied by the hope that those who have only heard of her may be profited by her recorded example of faith and heroism.

"This will cast a spell on fans of Cheryl Strayed and Glennon Doyle." - Publishers Weekly Between Two Kingdoms meets Wild. In this heart wrenching and inspirational memoir a woman and her mother, who is suffering from dementia, embark on a road trip through national parks, revisiting the memories, and the mountains, that made them who they are. Steph Jagger lost her mother before she lost her. Her mother, stricken with an incurable disease that slowly erases all sense of self, struggles to remember her favorite drink, her favorite song, and—perhaps most heartbreaking of all—Steph herself. Steph watches as the woman who loved and raised her slips away before getting the chance to tell her story, and so Steph makes a promise: her mother will walk it and she will write it. Too aware of her mother’s waning memory, Steph proposes that the two take a camping trip out to Montana—which her mother, on the urging of Steph’s father, agrees to embark upon. An adventure full of horseback riding, hiking, and “tenting” out West quickly turns into one woman’s reflection on childhood, motherhood, personhood—and what it means to love someone who doesn’t quite remember the person she spent her lifetime becoming. A staggeringly beautiful examination of how stories are passed down through generations and from Mother Nature, Everything Left to Remember brings us the wisdom of who our memories make us under the constellations of the vast Montana sky.

Excerpt from My Mother: Or Recollections of Maternal Influence Christian woman bringing up a family under certain circumstances, more or less peculiar, but only so as the circumstances of every family are different from those of every other. It is the wisdom and experience of such as are in the ordinary walks of life that are most likely to be useful. For the histories of those whose circumstances have been extraordinary, who have moved in higher spheres than others, or have run through rare adventures, are presented to us as unique or extreme cases which, though they are more enter taining, are less available for common use. If these humble reminiscences prove of any service to you, as I hope they may, in the discharge of your own responsible duties as a mother; if they in some measure justify the confidence expressed by you, that you will gather wisdom from her methods, and fidelity and courage from her faith, patience, and success, I shall not regret the hours spent in writing them. Wishing you all needed Wisdom, and much happiness in the successful training of your young and hopeful charge, I remain.

Excerpt from Family Reminiscences I always in my own mind connected my grand father's death with a little scene of which I was Witness during his stay with us and which impressed me greatly. He and I had been to Visit my mother's grave together. We were coming away, when before we reached the little churchyard gate, he turned round and looking towards the grave we had just left, but as it seemed beyond it, over the budding meadows to the clear spring horizon, he took off his hat and smiled the most beautiful smile I have ever seen on any human face. It was exactly as. Though someone he loved had called him. I was too much awed and impressed to speak to him, and after a minute or two he turned back again and we left the churchyard together. But I never forgot that moment or the unearthly expression of his face. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
