Summary
In 1906 I was barely over 14 years old, and it was my wedding day. My older sister, Helen, came to my room, took me by the hand, and sat me down on the bed. She said, "You've always been a good girl, Maude, and done what I told you. Now you're going to be a married woman, and he will be the head of the house. When you go home tonight after your party, no matter what he wants to do to you, you have to let him do it. Do you understand?" I didn't understand, but I nodded my head anyway. It sounded strange to me, the way so many things did. I would do what she told me. I didn't have a choice, any more than I'd had a choice in being born.

A must read
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. A life story full of tragedy, heartbreak & loss but also full of strength & resilience in the face of adversity. I found it fascinating to hear how the time periods changed throughout one lifetime, as the world advanced technologically. Starting out as a young girl without electricity or running water, to hearing of her experiencing electricity, washing machines & cars for the first time - this brought me back to basics & reminded me of what a privileged life a lot of us live today; whether we’re financially wealthy or not. A must-read!
