Book Joy

Journey back to the 1920s... when these two stories begin. Imagine the challenge of an immigrant family and their devoted midwife --- determined to save a newborn son weighing 1.5 pounds. UNTIL the ROBIN WALKS on SNOW is a story about family, faith, and friendship. Find yourself transported to the wood stove-warmed kitchen of a New England farmhouse during Christmastime, the season of love and miracles. THE PONEMAH YEARS: Walking in the Footsteps of My Mother tells the story of a little girl who arrives in Connecticut with her immigrant family of fourteen. Extreme loss and challenges would etch her young life, as would hope, hard work, and heroes. Gabrielle becomes a weaver in the famous Ponemah Mill during the mill era. This is her story and her daughter's journey to know her better. “Inspirational” is how readers describe these two family history-based books by award-winning Author Bernice L. Rocque.
