Description
“Now I know Bertie Stroup Marah is as heartfelt and talented a writer as she is a painter. I cannot convey how touched I was by her story. We are a product of our families, aren’t we all? We take the good things and fold them into relationships we choose, and we, hopefully, learn from the difficult things and push ourselves to seek something different, or to at least find some peace and acceptance. I can picture her, that lovely, nurturing and talented child, and see how she grew into the woman we know her to be.”
Laurena Davis, Writer and Editor,
Grand Junction, Colorado

“I laughed, I cried, and I had knots in my stomach reading about the tough times. I could picture it all. I could not or would not try to make it better. It is a wonderful story and it is clearly from the heart.”
