It is a book that basically come together because our parents didn't get the chance to put their memories/stories down for us to pass along to our children. So we decided to write some of our memories so our children would have a record of our lives and how things were at the time. After doing so, we found there was enough interest in the stories to put them into a book. We have accomplished this and the resulting book has been garnering good reviews. The stories invite you into three sisters lives in a midwestern small town. Their lives wrapped themselves around the neighborhood, family, friends, church, and school. Play was with toys that worked on imagination. Family rules were obeyed and church attendance was observed by all. The family spent time together growing, creating memories and learning to be respectful of each other and their feelings. Meet Vicky the painfully shy, easy-going, middle child; Jenny the spunky tomboy, tender hearted, older-by-twelve-minutes twin; and Cindy the playful, constantly scared, official baby of the family. Enjoy stories of how they interacted with their other siblings and parents. Don't miss a single spin of the kaleidoscope in this exciting new collection of memories.00:15:00Poet Lori OstermannoAuthor Reading,Poetry,Family,Memoir,Sisters"Kaleidoscope Memories: Childhood Stories That Celebrate Family Life."

I fell in love at the drop of a hat, longed for someone to heal my loneliness, always attracted to the wrong women. Like others, I struggled for years with love and relationships. And like others, I thought I was all alone and that there was something wrong with me. "I finally did find a special someone, but finding that person was simpler than I had thought. "The storybooks have it all wrong. "This is my story, the frank confession of a romantic idiot who was lucky enough to find the secret of happily ever after." 00:15:00Poet Lori OstermannoLove story,Hope,Relationships,Inspirational,Author Tim King"I was born with the heart of a romantic.

While historical persons do appear within the text, all events are of my own imagination. During the 19th century, and for nearly the first half of the 20th century, French women were not allowed to vote, nor to have a bank account or passport/traveling papers without express written permission of a father or husband. They had no property rights, not even to their own clothing and jewelry. They had no legal status whatsoever outside of being a daughter or a wife. These facts inform much of Claire Delacroix’s background, and her intellectual rebellion against her place in “proper society.”00:15:00Poet Lori OstermannoFiction,Sharon Cathcart,Opera,Historical,Love StoryAuthor’s Note This is a work of fiction.
