Just finished: "Two Old Women" by Velma Wallis who is an Alaskan Athabascan
This is a short, easy couple of hours read about an Alaskan Athabascan legend of two elderly woman who were left behind by "The People" when they were deemed too old and helpless to be of use. They found forgotten courage and strength and survived the brutal Artic winter.
The book was given to me by my niece who purchased it in Alaska.
Also just finished: "Border Healing Woman" The story of Jewel Babb as told to Pat Ellis Taylor.
About an elderly Anglo woman living in the desert region near El Paso, TX and the Mexican border who became known for healing people with what she called "mind healing" and "zone therapy".
This book was given to me by my 92 year old Mom who wrote a note by one of the photos of Mrs. Babb saying "Isn't this a beautiful face? I just think she is so sincere and gentle." Beautiful photos throughout the book.
Currently reading: "Growing Pains" the autobiograpy of Emily Carr who was/is a legendary Canadian artist and writer.
Found this at a small gift shop on my last venture up to Vancouver, B.C. at the Granville Island Market.
Hmmmm.....I just noticed a link between all my latest reads. They are all about strong, determined women with the first two being given to me by very strong, determined women! Think there might be something going on here??
