Produktbeschreibung

This is a true, semibiographical story about a young woman who was raised by a very strict and abusive father in the Midwest. She led a very oppressed life growing up and then marrying a very abusive husband. The story begins in a hospital, where Jean has lost the will to live. A kindly priest, Father Warner, making his rounds of the hospital ward, encounters Jean, who then relates the story of her life to him. Jean, who now has children of her own, is very depressed that her own children may very well experience a similar fate as each generation seems to pass on to the next the oppression that they themselves experienced while growing up. Father Warner takes it upon himself to help Jean in whatever way possible to restore her willingness to live.

Autorenporträt

Edwin Henry Masterson was born the son of Irish immigrants and raised and educated at St. Mathias in Muscatine, Iowa. As a precocious young man of sixteen, he entered college as a seminary student Davenport, Iowa, studying to become a priest. But this was not to be. He soon left the seminary, was married, and raised a family of ten children. He owned and operated Harvest Gold Bakery in Davenport, Iowa, and became a member of the Davenport City Council as alderman-at-large for many terms. After selling his bakery, he joined Iowa State Corrections as a parole officer in Scott County, Iowa. During these years, he became acquainted with a young woman who related her story to him. This is a story, The Story of Jean, which he wrote in 1960 and was never able to have it published. He left the manuscript to me, his son, in the hopes I would someday have it published. I retyped the entire manuscript from his original and incorporated the various markings and changes into digital format for ease of publication. My father died in 1990.
