This is one of the authors at my retirement community, Maggie (Margaret) Freidinger Kraushaar. She is holding a copy of her book, "The Mulberry Juice Dress."
It is rare to read a true coming of age story from a young girl's perspective that takes us through the life of a missionarie's daughter in Lebanon. With humor and grace, Maggie tells of her young life in exotic Lebanon of the early 1900s. She struggles to understand her stern father, devoted to his Christian religion, and after moving back to America as a young woman, she eventually finds her truth and a deeper understanding of her family.
The book is written with great talent and an obvious love of human observation. You will laugh, cry, and look at your own family with a new perspective.
When I pass Maggie, as she struggles to walk with her own health issues, she always takes time to stop and share some words. I can see at once the young girl in the mulberry juice dress and the older woman who has gained much wisdom in a full life.
We all have our stories here. I am so glad Maggie put hers into book form for all to share.
The Mulberry Juice Dress is available at Amazon.com
