Who Dyed My Hair White In The Night?: Reflections of a Perennial Child (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539382874)

Who Dyed My Hair White in the Night? Reflections of a Perennial Child is the story of a woman who grew up in a small town-and lived to tell the tale. Retired teacher Polly Rogers Brown looks back fondly at her childhood, the lessons she learned, and the unconventional people she met-finding humorous truth in the everyday life of a farm girl from Michigan.

She offers tales of the one-room, one-teacher schoolhouse she and her fellow students-some poverty stricken-attended. Through anecdotes about her shaky relationship with two- and four-wheeled vehicles, she lovingly relates memories rife with nostalgia and warmth-and some that are notably cautionary.

Throughout the book, her deep love for her family and her friends-human and animal alike-and her healthy respect for the interconnectedness of life shine like a beacon. Told with the wisdom of age as well as the fervor of youth, Who Dyed My Hair White in the Night? Reflections of a Perennial Child will elicit laughter, tears, and warm reflections, inspiring both young people-those just discovering life's intricacies-and adults, underscoring that imagination and a sense of humor can see you through the most trying times.
