Newly-wed Eleanor had a plan for her life: "I want to get married, go out west, build a log cabin, raise a bunch of kids, teach them about the Lord, volunteer in my community, and then write a book about it!" As her dreams became a reality over the next 40 years, she and her husband, Kevin, lived the Back-to-the-Land lifestyle, overcame limitations, built an improved house, grew much of their own food, homeschooled their four children and volunteered in an ever-widening community. Eleanor became a freelance writer and developed seminars. Next on her to-do list: Write her memoir. Cancer arrived when she had other plans. The detour took her deep into a labyrinth of questions, research, consultations and agonizing soul-searching. From Mother Nature to Hi-Tech... From organic gardening to radiation treatment... From a log cabin in the Canadian mountains to a dormitory in a distant city... Eleanor's Life Path certainly took a detour....
Autorenporträt
January, 1959 Little Eleanor is given two dolls in anticipation of the twins her mother will soon give birth to. What happens next shapes Eleanor's view of her Self, her family, her spiritual Journey, and begins her search for healthy relationships with her father, brothers, husband, sons. Like a puzzle, Eleanor fits together bright and dark portraits of her family and relationships. Like stepping stones, detailed descriptions bring the reader from early childhood, through marriage, parenting, soul-searching and the empty nest.
