Produktbeschreibung
"GABRIELLE" means "God is strong"; it is what six related Gabrielles relied on during their life journeys. Their fictional stories are told from cradle to grave spanning four centuries using personal and historical facts. All belonged to the French aristocracy; related privilege afforded them education and wealth but did not prevent them from confronting formidable obstacles and much pain. Thus, all experienced the abyss of losing children and they had to adjust to the death or loss of their spouse, often at a young age, or of parents while still being children themselves. These are female destinies presented by a female author-also a Gabrielle in the same bloodline-who hopes that how these Gabrielles dealt with adversity may be helpful to readers in their own struggles.

Autorenporträt
Gabrielle de Courten Myers, M.D. is from an old Swiss-French stock and has spent much of her adult life in the United States. Before retirement, she had served as Professor of Neuropathology at the University of Cincinnati, Ohio as researcher, teacher and diagnostician. Being knowledgeable about her ancestors reaching far back, she since focused on finding facts about six of her namesake-foremothers. She then took these "skeletons" and wove them into an often-heartbreaking novel. She also provides a glimpse into how a long chain of successive generations influence the next with their life experience and pass on what they, as mothers and grandmothers, deem essential.
