Gail Martin's Memories Made into a Book

I've arranged my mom's childhood memories in a print-on-demand book on Blurb.com. It was published yesterday, so you can preview the first fifteen pages of the book on their webpage.

Read an excerpt at Gail's website: www.gailmartin.wordpress.com and click on the link to go to the preview.

Here's the book description:
A childhood on the Kansas prairies in the 1930s springs vividly to life in the detailed memories of Gail Martin. Her simple accounts of long ago school days, celebrations and family life are a treasure. Travel back in time to life in the Flint Hills during the Great Depression and the time leading up to World War II.
The memories include her father's work in the oil field, trips to town in the family's Model A, raising her pet badger, fishing on the Cottonwood River, and wearing dresses made from feed sack material.

If you have a newsletter or local paper that you think would be interrested in this, there is a press release on Gail's website. Feel free to distribute the press release anywhere.
