It Seems to Me...

Book excerpt: An eclectic collection of writings by Mary M. McCullough. Born June 21, 1896 and passing June 6, 1996, she was a witness to all the social political, and economic upheavals and changes of the 20th century. Her writings date from 1924 to approximately 1988, and include poetry, essays, prayers, short stories and histories, and musings. While many describe family and close friends, the topics have broad appeal. Some of her pieces will make you laugh, others could bring you to tears. Her chapter on "Grieving" reads like a howaEUR"to for those who are experiencing the loss of a spouse or other loved one. Her essays are poignant commentaries on the changing world in which she lived. She was in many respects ahead of her time in her thoughts and how she lived her life.
