Muriel's Memories
Author: Muriel Franks Bradley
Publisher: FriesenPress
ISBN: 1460291557
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
As anyone who has spent time living on a working farm can attest to, it’s a world you can’t understand unless you live it. Imagine a rural farm in Tennessee at the turn of the nineteenth to twentieth century — no tractors, running water or plumbing. Farming was done with mules and horses; transportation by horse-drawn wagon. In the 1920s a young girl named Muriel Franks grows up on a family farm in Hardin County, Tennessee. These are the collected stories of that girl, who would grow up to graduate from a university at a time when women were a minority at college. In rich detail, Muriel tells us the stories of her life, her community, her family and friends, her neighbors her Methodist religion, her work, and some of the major developments that reshaped American society — from the Great Depression to the Second World War, continuing into the twenty-first century. From churning butter to making kraut, from church to the 4-H club, from building roads to making coffins, Muriel’s Memories weaves a rich tapestry of history as written by someone intimate with the importance of historical accuracy.

The Scars of An African Girl
Author: Esther Ebireri
Publisher: African Books Collective
ISBN: 9786086759
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Muriel is watching her favourite TV programme when Izobo walks through the living room, into the bedroom she shares with her sisters. This is not the first time Muriel is seeing this woman in their house. Though only ten at the time, Muriel still remembers the horror that filled her heart; as the cries of Sandra (her eldest sister), filled the entire house after Izobo arrived in the house. On asking why Sandra was crying, her mother had told her that Sandra was being turned into a complete woman. Muriel didn't understand. When she tried to ask, Mother had dismissed her in one of her usual ways. But Muriel is determined to find out this time. So, she peeps through the keyhole, into the room where Christabel is locked in with the priestess. She watches with horror, as blood splashes on the mat on which Christabel lays: as the priestess bents over her. As Christabel lay on the mat, groaning in pains, Muriel remembers again, the sound of cries and screams that came out of that room the first time Izobo visited their house. Then, it struck her: sooner or later, it would be her turn! But Muriel was nothing like her sisters: she was strong-willed, resilient and obstinate; and would not let anyone lock her up in a room with a woman who brings nothing, but pain and agony into their home...

Liverpool's Children in the Second World War
Author: Pamela Russell
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0752480189
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
This is the untold story of Liverpool's children in the Second World War. Whilst everyone is familiar with the tales of evacuees who were rushed out of the cities once the bombs started falling, many of us are unaware that many stayed behind, either by choice or necessity, as the city of their childhood disintegrated and burned around them. In the words of those who experienced the Liverpool Blitz first-hand, we hear of their adventures and misadventures, the fun and games and ever-present danger, and the humor and sorrow of those wartime years. This is an important and revealing look at the war as seen through the eyes of these children. This book not only explores the memories of a childhood ravaged by war, but also the formative effect this had on individuals' lives. It reflects the collective spirit of a city that refused to be crushed, even at the darkest hours of the Luftwaffe's bombing campaign. Ideal for anyone who lived through those times, or who is fascinated by experiences and the legacy of the wartime generation, this new title pays tribute to the war's forgotten children.
