Philomene's Doll (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781721035908)

Six years after the American Civil War ended, six year old Philomene sees her mother die horribly in childbirth. Soon she is sent from her home in Detroit to Belle-River Canada, where, following a series of moves to various families and convents, she ultimately finds a stable home near the place of her birth and marries a young man. Together they build a successful farm and begin a family. We follow her through Prohibition, the Great Depression, and two World Wars, raising a large and varied family through the best and the worst of times. All along, she is comforted and stimulated by a simple rag doll that was the single great gift of her childhood. Based on a true story, it's a tale of the highest and lowest points of a long life. You will not want to miss it!
