About the Book

You're not getting old, and it's not silly that you find yourself thinking fondly of the good old days and the way we were. The magic of Mooring at the Millrace is that in reading one woman's story of growing up in the 50s and 60s, readers find themselves remembering things they haven't thought of for years. Meeting her people and the characters from her life brings back to life the people and characters from your time. As Susan journeys through the happiness and heartache, the births and deaths of her life, you can't help but find new significance in the everydayness of the experiences of your life.
The world today is screaming, but we remember a quieter world. The relief after World War II filled us with gratitude and goodwill. Political tiffs became funny stories, the economy boomed, if we wanted something we worked for it, we respected the elderly and authority, and, as children, the city block or the small town was our playground. The kids in this book had their mooring at the millrace, but where was yours and how did it influence who you became?
This compilation of stories from Susan's life, which make a single, simple life look beautiful, may help you discover aspects of your life you might have been taking for granted. Isn't the mundane actually miraculous?
Do you remember the voice of Garrison Keillor ushering us into Lake Wobegon? Susan introduces us to the village of Durham, Pennsylvania which boasts the second oldest post office in the country. You'll be surprised to find out why.
Early readers found themselves remembering things they had forgotten, getting out old yearbooks, and calling friends from the past. The unpretentious writing, they say, reminds them of Erma Bombeck or James Herriot. This isn't a book you must read, but rather a book to which you might treat yourself. "We were happy then," Barbra Streisand sings. With so much less, we actually had so much more. Reading Mooring at the Millrace is one way to "Let the memory live again."
And who wouldn't want Cathy Biggs beautiful painting of Durham on a coffee table or bookshelf?
