Meadowlark Songs: A Motherline Legacy

By Joy Neal Kidney

A motherline connects us to lives past, while living in the present and offering strength and resilience for the future. What do we inherit from our grandmothers besides mtDNA? Heirlooms? Character? Does the past shape our future? The legacy of a small log church was nurtured through my motherline and woven into the blessing and mystery of my own inheritance. Glimpses into the lives of these women, along with cameo appearances of the men they married, reveal a legacy of faith and hope while navigating challenging times through seven generations. "Meadowlark Songs: A Motherline Legacy is Joy Neal Kidney's ancestral anthem, filled with memorable voices from seven beloved generations of her family. Inspired by her grandmother, Leora Wilson, Kidney shares an all-encompassing journey through time, showcasing the patriarch and matriarch whose heritage started in Virginia, crossed through Indiana, and landed in Iowa. Memorable, poetic, inspirational - find your own superlatives to this masterpiece homage." - John Busbee, The Culture Buzz
