Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. Born into poverty in 1918 and raised within the confines of a rigid religious sect, Marian Mitchell learned early that survival required resourcefulness, determination, and a willingness to question the life others had chosen for her.Her path carried her from childhood servitude to college, teaching, and an extraordinary position as nursemaid and companion to the grandchildren of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. With Secret Service agents watching the grounds and America entering World War II, Marian found herself witnessing history from an unusual vantage point: not from the halls of power, but from kitchens, nurseries, classrooms, trains, and family homes.She later became an Army wife, homesteader, mother of five sons, teacher, traveler, caregiver, and keen observer of the changing American century. Along the way came wartime separations, frozen laundry, coal-bin living quarters, Indiana farm life, cross-country journeys, mischievous students, family losses, and adventures that rarely unfolded according to plan.One Slice of Time: A Life Between the Lines of History preserves Marian's story in her own candid, observant voice. Written with dry wit and unflinching honesty, it captures the lives often overlooked by traditional histories: the women who worked, taught, raised families, endured hardship, questioned convention, and quietly held everything together.Recovered and assembled by her youngest son, this deeply personal memoir is both an intimate family chronicle and a portrait of twentieth-century America as experienced by one resilient woman who lived close to history without ever imagining that history would remember her. Marian Mitchell rises from poverty and hardship to become a teacher, Army wife, mother, traveler, and witness to history. Told with honesty and dry wit, her memoir celebrates resilience, family, and an extraordinary American life. This item is printed on demand.
