I Come From A Place Called Home (1882-1929)

By Elizabeth Burr Marquard

On a final visit to her childhood home in rural Ohio, eighty-year-old Minola Seibel recalls the remarkable events that span 100 years of the Seibel family's history. The first volume covers the early years, from a young man's journey down the Mississippi River in the 1880s, to the backbreaking labor necessary for a small strawberry farm to succeed, the lingering agony of the Spanish Influenza pandemic, and a nation on the brink of the Great Depression. For the eight Seibel siblings, all choices, opportunities, and hopes for the future are complicated by one overriding shadow-their mother's mental illness. This saga, based on the true experiences of the author's ancestors, preserves the legacy of an ordinary American family who faced extraordinary challenges.
