Lois Larkey has been fascinated by stories and history since she was four and listening to family tell tales. As a teenager, she met people whose stories expanded her understanding. She wrote about the challenges they faced and what saw them through hard times.
Giving birth to her own daughters was the most interesting experience of all. As Lois continued to write vignettes, she contemplated a larger work as a family legacy.
When Lois turned seventy, she started to write the seminal moments that comprise a life with the idea of a collection for succeeding generations. Looking back, she realized she had the strength to move forward, to face the challenges of aging, to survive loss and changing relationships, to look toward another rewarding quarter century.
