Lost But Not Forgotten: My Mother's Life

Quite a while ago, I asked my mother to fill out a store-bought book about her life. You know, the ones that are called, "Mother's Remembrances" or some such thing? Several years before Mom died, she surprised me with a huge scrapbook of her life from birth through adulthood and into her retirement years It was beautiful - in layout and in content. This book is Mom's story of her life growing up in a tourist home in Richmond, Virginia, marrying my father, leaving her abusive marriage, and finding happiness in Florida.
