I am a...
...farmer's daughter, although my father held other jobs in his life. At different times he managed a hotel, worked as a carpenter and a butcher, and managed a railroad.
...sister to four siblings, three sisters and a brother who died as an infant.
...wife to a farmer for 64 years until his death at the age of 92. Together we had two children. Our daughter became a novelist and political theorist. Our son died soon after birth.
During my life I have held jobs as a teacher, seamstress, newspaper editor, loan officer, and farmer. My husband and I tried wheat farming, but later had more success with a dairy & poultry farm. However, I am most famous for writing a series of semi-autobiographical historical fiction books.
I lived to be 90 years old.
