Book synopsis

Esther Clara Sanow Ford's lifetime spanned two world wars and the advent of electricity, plumbing, refrigeration, penicillin, telephones, automobiles, airplanes, air conditioning, radio, TV, computers, department stores, shopping malls and many other inventions and conveniences that have come to be considered basics of modern American life. My Name is Esther Clara is an authentic account of 20th Century rural America audio- and videotaped by Esther Clara before her death in 1989 and adeptly reconstituted by her granddaughter, Laurel Johnson, author of the novel, The Alley of Wishes (Dandelion Books) and several other works of fiction and poetry. Writes Nancy Mehl, book reviewer for The Wichita Eagle and Midwest Book Review: "Laurel Johnson brings this story of her grandmother out of the shadowed past and into our hearts in this stunning and beautiful portrayal. Johnson's rich literary style and ability to give her characters life will not only bring laughter and tears, but make this story one you won't forget."
