Claire's World

Claire's World is a story about a young woman who feels her life has become repetitious with no real meaning. When a young farm hand enters her life, she finds herself torn between what she knows is right and what her heart wants. It shows how hard life was on the farm in the late 1800's and how making just cents a day could keep a family fed and taxes paid. When families worked together all benefited, and how forgiveness can free lives and mend hearts. I was born in a small town in Pennsylvania, where I live today. I am in my fifties and have Four beautiful daughters, and four wonderful sons-n-laws and a supporting man in my life. I'm a Chef, and I love to cook and bake. I have been a foster mother and a home health aide, all of which I have loved doing. I like talking with people, singing in church and writing. Although I did not start writing short stories and books until I was forty. My favorite time is when my grandchildren come to visit for, they make me smile watching them in all they do. My oldest granddaughter Elizabeth Hostetler drew the inside pictures for this book, I am so proud of all of them. Although there have been heart aches in life, I truly feel that I have been blessed.
