DESCRIPTION:


October 3 – Kelly Lardner – Family History Month – Rose Beads

Book: Rose Beads is an epic saga of three generations of strong women and of the power of their love. In small town Lavender, Oklahoma, eleven-year-old Eva loses her mother and her home to flames. Her widowed father forsakes the hard toil of farming, leaving Eva in the care of her aunt, to seek opportunity in the city. The hardships Eva and her family encounter are typical of life in the early Twentieth Century. As a young woman, Eva’s life choices take her beyond the bounds of small-town America, where the restrictive social rules imposed on women collide with her determination to find love and achieve a better life. One loss after another knock her down, but each time she rises to pursue her personal journey, to unite her family, and to find happiness.
