About the Book

Survival, Healing, and Triumph of the Human Spirit, set in settlement of early 1800's Ohio frontier. Meet the key women of Hearthstones: Amanda Jane Bently Harrison, displaced, petite, southern-belle, ill-equipped for life in the wilderness, struggles to find herself, her true home and lasting happiness, while hardship tests the limits of her capacity to endure. After nearly losing life and mind, she finds strength through stubborn support of midwife "Ma" Hawkins, steadfast friendship of Lucy Jarvis, and stalwart help of sister-in-law Sadie. Edith "Ma" Hawkins, skilled midwife, treats men with contempt - especially preachers who "Waste too much time God talkin', 'stead of pitchin' in to do what's needed out here." Ma displays unquestioned patience with the women who most need her help, among whom Amanda Jane ranks foremost. Ellie Mae Thompson, long-time settler known as "the infernal optimist" by her midwife sister, carries on despite abandonment, accusation of murder, and a stint in the whooscow. "I am not ready to give up on men yet, no matter what my sister Edie says." Ellie's mettle gives newfound-friend Libby Howard the courage to persevere in this wilderness. Olivia (Libby) Howard, citified newcomer from Connecticut to the "Fire Lands" of Ohio, fears this land will claim her children. She seeks guidance from Ellie Mae, as a lasting friendship grows through their ongoing correspondence, weaving together the strands of our frontier women's lives. "You amaze me, friend. All that you have endured, to remain so undaunted... Acorns for buttons. I never would have thought!"
About the Author: MaryLee Marilee, published humor columnist (15 years in The Holmes County Bargain Hunter), former editor & feature writer (Graphic Publications), motivational speaker, and most recently bed and breakfast owner, currently devotes her time to writing while traveling the country between visits to children and grandchildren. Sheryl Lawrence, office finance-coordinator, former English teacher, and short-story author, has published stories in "Girls To The Rescue" series, printed by Meadowbrook Press. Sheryl lives with her husband of 25 years, stays current with their children and grandchildren, and keeps multiple offices organized and humming. "We met in a creative-writing class nearly 30 years ago and haven't stopped talking since! We encourage and motivate one another at a time in history just as challenging, in its own way, as that of our frontier sisters."
