This is a true story, a family saga, whose strong and resourceful heroine is Lizzie Elnora Murphy Casebolt. It tells of her lifelong search for her beautiful mother, Jencey, who died when Lizzie was seven, but who appeared to Lizzie many times in dreams and in unusual circumstances. Lizzie was adopted by a kindly judge and his wife, the Taylors. She grew up in the small Missouri town of Miami, where she found romance with one young man, but married another. Her life, through nearly ninety-one years of happiness and heartbreak, spanned the postA Civil War period and the aftermath of slavery, the tragedies of the two world wars, the suffrage movement, the hardships of the Depression, the births of her children and grandchildren and some of her great-grandchildren, and the exciting and sometimes difficult life she led with her beloved daughter, Myrtle, and Myrtle's husband, the educator George W. Diemer, including their travels to California, the Rockies, and New York City. The gentle determination and steady character of Lizzie shines through all of the events and people who were part of her life.
Dorothy Diemer Hendry (1918-2006) wrote hundreds of poems during her active and productive life as a teacher, administrator, editor, author, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, expert grower of roses. This collection of some of her best poetry shows the range of her interests and the depth of expression and thought that make her one of the most talented poets of her generation. She writes of love, of faith, of nature, of death-even her own. Through all the joy and sorrow of a life well lived, she found not only great depths of compassion and thankfulness for being, but also penetrating insight into the foibles and missteps that plague our nation and world. The poet's voice, Dorothy's voice, speaks in incisive and clear language, and is beautiful to hear and read. From the very early poem "Burnished Pebbles" to her last written offering, a Thanksgiving prayer, she will open the mind and heart of even the most jaded reader. This first volume of her poetry is rich with humor, contemplation, wonder, as well as questioning and righteous anger. Her poetry is like its author: kind, strong, aware, concerned, thoughtful, beautiful to behold, but ever cognizant of the problems humankind faces.
