About the Book

The Book:


Filling Mama's Shoes is a hybrid novella and memory journal for all to enjoy, but especially for those in the GI and Silent Generations. The book is filled with historical references and provides a light read for an individual or an easy story to be read aloud to others. Its mission is to provide an entertaining story that will prompt memories and help readers capture priceless family and personal histories. Memory journal prompts are provided for each chapter and coincide with events in the story.

The Story:

Daffodils surround Naomi Carroll's home - a home the 90-year-old will soon leave. As she uproots some of the bulbs for transplanting, she recalls the origin and significance of her precious flowers and takes her great-granddaughter on a journey through time as she begins to share the odyssey of the daffodils.
In this first volume, Naomi recalls that losing her mother was the worst thing that ever happened to her as a child, but admitting she wanted a new mother hurt almost as much. As the story begins, the miseries of life in 1935 clash against the memory of the gracious lady her mother was and the warmth that filled their home before her mother died.
At first Naomi tries to fill her Mama's shoes by refining herself and her reluctant sisters. But when she realizes the task is beyond her reach, she turns to matchmaking.
Filling mama's shoes leads to big trouble for Naomi until she learns that Mama's grace can be found in surprising places.
About the Author: Kathryn Mitchell spent part of her childhood tagging along with her mother on a quest to record their family's history. From that experience she began to learn the power of personal stories. While earning a degree in Adult Education and Training, she studied the science of learning and the effects of aging on the brain. Her education and the experience of caring for her elderly parents led her to launch Stories That Built Us, an online community of caregivers and family historians who value the power of personal histories. Visit her website: www.storiesthatbuiltus.com.

Kathryn's story began in Amarillo, Texas, where she started writing as a freelancer. Her work has been published in dozens of regional and national magazines. This is her first novel.
