About the Book

Seasons of My Life is a compelling story that begins in the depths of the Great Depression. In a North Dakota farmhouse with neither electricity nor running water, Carroll Boeder rode on a horse-drawn sleigh to school, two hours each way. Her memories of the Depression and World War II are not recollections of deprivation, however, but wonderful stories of family, friends, community, and most of all, resilience. You'll find an authentic recipe for Lefse and stories spanning several generations that will bring a smile to the face of every reader.
About the Author: Carroll Boeder was born on October 3rd, 1930 in a farmhouse about one and one-half miles northwest of Sharon, North Dakota. Her parents were Alf Marle Rue and Elvira Fern Kloster Rue. The day of my birth was, my mother recalled, cold and windy. My Dad was in the fields plowing with the horses. Dr. Gibbons from Finley, North Dakota arrived at the farm after being called on the wall crank phone. Carroll Mae Rue arrived at 9:45 p.m.. Dad was 31 years old and Mom was 27. My birth certificate incorrectly listed the spelling of my name as "Carol." My baptismal certificate was also misspelled, containing only one "r" but two "l's". I think that, being farmers and hoping for a boy, my parents wanted my name spelled in a masculine manner - "Carroll" rather than "Carol." In that day and age, it was not customary for parents to write or call the state capital and request the birth certificate to review it for errors. My Dad has similar errors in his records, as his name was not "Alfred" as shown on my birth certificate, but rather "Alf." Mom always said that she would not like a child of hers to have blond hair. But in my childhood years, Mother said that my hair was so white that my pink scalp showed through it. My Dad's parents were Norwegian; Mom's father was Norwegian and her mother was Pennsylvania Dutch. Since graduating from high school as the class valedictorian, I have worked as a nurse in several cities in the Midwest, particularly enjoying my professional work with psychiatric patients. Most of my adult life has been focused on my children and grandchildren, with lots of attention to my love of gardening, literature, and many friends.
