Seller's Description:
Very Good. Great book! Mild wear on cover, lightly aged, small mark on edge. From Publishers Weekly: In addition to founding and managing Victoria, a women's lifestyle magazine, Lindemeyer contributes a column under the name Jenny Walton. Selecting from among those pieces, she recalls the large Victorian home of her Connecticut childhood; a knitting club with high school chums; the bygone women's dormitory she lived in after college; and most of all, her grandmother's homespun wisdom and skills at the stove and needle. Taken together, the pieces resemble a memoir, although Lindemeyer notes the book "is not exactly autobiographical." Arranged in a nonchronological, patchwork sequence, the essays muse on the activities and sentiments traditionally associated with domesticity, or, as Lindemeyer puts it, "the beauty of a woman's life through the artfulness of the things she has gathered about her." After a few samplings, however, even sticky buns and apple pie become tiresome, especially when set under glittering windows that conspicuously sport fresh lace curtains. Illustrations. Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc." "From School Library Journal: YA-These refreshingly upbeat stories are based on the columns written by the author, editor-in-chief of Victoria Magazine, under her pen name. While not completely autobiographical, the selections are her remembrances of family and friends who influenced her growing-up years and beyond. With the death of her mother when she was five, and her father's remarriage two years later, this bewildered child and her sister, 10 years older, became part of her stepmother's large Midwestern family. Lindemeyer's stepgrandmother, Bertha Maude Keithley, came to live with the newly created family and became the child's confidante and unfailing supporter. The woman's encouragement helped her pursue her dream of college as she struggled with summer jobs. Many of the stories center around this relationship; others focus on more distant family members. This picture of warm, caring families, told with fondness and humor and with glimpses of the creation of a fashionable magazine, will appeal to young adults, especially those who enjoy Jan Karon's books. While some of the stories seem Pollyanna-ish, woven through them is the career path of a successful woman who values home and family as a source of comfort and strength.
