Mooring at the Millrace
by Susan Rau StockerPublish: Feb 19, 2023Biographies & MemoirsBook Overview
Walk back in time to visit Durham, Pennsylvania. Treat yourself to some sweet and savory memories. We call them "the good old days" because things were simpler, kinder, slower, less stressful, and more manageable. We had so much less, but fresh off the agony of World War II, we were raised by people who felt blessed to be alive and thrilled to be living in peace.Mooring at the Millrace is one woman's story of a warm family, a tight community, and unflinching standards of integrity and altruism. Coming from a long line of storytellers, Susan re-tells her childhood stories and then leads us into the world with her as she encounters things for which life in Durham, Pennsylvania had ill-prepared her.
This emotionally inviting book is lovingly fleshed out with characters you'll always remember (and perhaps recognize from your own life). You'll recall why many of us in our 60s and 70s have a work ethic, an unwavering sense of right and wrong, and a deep concern for the well-being of all living things.
Mooring at the Millrace is touching, encouraging, moving, wonderful, funny, sad, inspiring, and a priceless reminder and guide.
