FINDING MY MOTHER, FINDING MYSELF (eBook, ePUB)

A Memoir of Three Women, in their own words

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Family myths and fantasies often obscure the facts about who we are and how we got here. "Find My Mother, Finding Myself" was going to be about the women who came before me, particularly the mother I never knew. It evolved into a docudrama about the daily lives that three women lived over half a century, complete with illness, romance, scandal, and yes, murder! I came to know Edna, Ide Belle, and Grace intimately through some two hundred letters written by the three women and their siblings. I came to understand, a little better, how my own personality traits formed. Hopefully, this living record will prove the value of knowing one's family history and how it can lead not only to self-knowledge, but to a powerful feeling of owning one's own place and purpose.

Autorenporträt

Clynne (Churchill) Morgan Tilton is a native Floridian, raised in Miami by her maternal grandparents and, now and then, in Punta Gorda by her father who died when she was 11. The Morgans were a railroad family, who came to Miami in 1902 with Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad. Clynne has been writing professionally for more than 50 years in television, film, radio, performing arts, regional magazines, and not-for-profit organizations. She spent little time on her own creative works. Returning to college at age 52, in 1993 she earned a BA at Barry University. In 1996, she earned her MA in English with concentration in Professional Writing. This memoir is a true labor of love, documenting the lives of her great grandmother, her grandmother, and her mother of whom Clynne has no memory; but their letters told their stories. At age 84, she has finally finished her own story.
