One Kansas Family: Stitched Together with Memories

By Terry Hubbard Stahl

"Portrays the sweeping changes of the 20th century as experienced by the Hubbard family. Thelma and Joe were born on Kansas farms during the First World War and survived the hardships of the Great Depression and Drought. WWII change the trajectories of their lives, and the Baby Boom and volunteerism shaped their remaining years. The Cold War overshadowed their lives. Joe worked as a civilian for the US military and constructed missile bases. After four moves, the Hubbards settled on a small ranch near Manhattan, Kansas. Thelma nurtured six children, cooked, sewed, and volunteered her way through the decades. Joe and Thelma lived their version of the American dream. Their oldest daughter, Terry Stahl, has woven family memories, research, and images into an engaging story with a quilting theme. By blending historical context, a scrapbook, and a memoir, she has developed a fresh format. The book provides insights into her family's culture, values, and behavior. Terry has humanized the history of the 20th Century by creating a richly detailed glimpse into the lives of one middle-class Kansas family."
