Opis

Multiple paths, trails, alleys, and passages through life both lead away from and back toward home. Early memories faithfully fed and nurtured find the path home, even with detours and bypasses. In "Finding My Way Home," author Eleanor A. Hubbard, born and raised in Iowa, living in Colorado for 40 years, narrates stories of a lonely and lost little girl, herself, looking for a place to belong. At age 70, she adds stories to her remembrance nest about growing up on an Iowa farm with her family and being nurtured in a small rural church, the Ivester Church of the Brethren. It was in a one-room school though that she found her place as the only student kindergarten through 8th grade. Discovering memories previously left untended brought Hubbard back home to the values nurtured in her childhood. Eleanor A. Hubbard, Ph.D. in sociology, is a teacher having taught at every level-pre-school through the university. She is a retired member of the faculty at the University of Colorado and taught Semester at Sea, 2002 and 2011. She has previously written about gender, race, and sexual orientation, but this is her first memoir.
