About the Book

Mary McIntosh revisits her diary for the years 1935-1939. This is Volume One which covers 1935. The other four volumes will be available soon as separate books. In Volume One Mary recalls listening to Mary Pickford and Rudy Vallee on the radio, seeing Shirley Temple in "The Little Colonel" at the newly opened Radio City Music Hall, hearing of the crash and death of Will Rogers and Wiley Post, and the assassination of Huey Long. She also remembers Roosevelt's announcement of a "bank holiday" and the loss of the $1.35 in her Christmas Club account. Over the five volumes she describes the abdication of the English King, the fiery disaster of the Hindenburg, romantic rides in a rumble seat, visits to England on a steam ship, her first sexual encounters with a lover, and hundreds of other episodes brought back to her 90 year old mind in clear and vivid detail from the diary entries she made so long ago. Not every memory is bright and pleasant. The great depression lay over the land and there was much suffering and unrest. Too, her authoritarian father's shocking manner of explaining sex to her caused much anxiety and clouded her life long after her father's death when she was herself married with children of her own. But despite those clouds in the background, Mary's teenage years come through as brightly and vividly as sunshine after a storm. She describes a long ago time of small pleasures and enormous excitement you will enjoy sharing. So take a peek into her 1935 Diary and drift back into a slower and simpler time. It will soothe your soul and enliven your mind.And it will also sharpen your appetite for more. So look for the next four volumes. They'll be available soon. Or, dip into the Kindle versions of the books available now on Amazon.
About the Author: "I recently celebrated my 90th birthday with a blow-out bash for all my friends and neighbors. And I've finally completed my memoir based on a five-year diary I kept as a teenager, from 1935-1939, and which I still have. It was hard work, for even though all the events are listed, it was difficult remembering so long ago how I felt and what my true reactions were to certain events. Yes, it was hard work, but I'm fully convinced that all this writing is helping keep me mentally alert and active." This paperback publication of Volume One of "Mary's Diary, A Secret Journal of the 1930s," will soon be followed by the other four volumes in the series. All five volumes are already available and waiting for your reading pleasure on Kindle. So try Volume One for 1935 and step back into a quieter, more gentle, time. You'll be hooked before you reach February. And I think you will want to enjoy them all. I know I did. Richard Loller, Publisher The Preservation Foundation, Inc. A Not-For-Profit Publisher
