Over het boek
"How many little girls have a gold-mine named after them?" "The picture of Dad in his uniform, standing in front of a shield with the crossed swords, was taken the day he presented his credentials to King Gustaf VI-Adolf." "Rod had a terrific but exhausting trip on the very famous Orient Express from Paris to Istanbul. He had spent most of his money in Paris and had only a couple of chocolate bars to see him through to Istanbul." These words are part of three loving memoirs written by grieving daughter and sister, Margot Adams Johnston, weaving from them a vivid tapestry of her remarkable mid-twentieth century family. Personal photos from multiple albums illustrate Ms. Adams' narrative, illuminating a family's life that was global in scope, with events both grand and intimate in scale.

Norma Jean Anderson (Norma Auer Adams)
Louisville, Colorado
After a thirty-plus year career creating paintings and works of art, Norma Jean Anderson (known professionally as Norma Auer Adams) has turned to writing. The subjects covered by this versatile artist have included stories about her paintings, memories of a beloved pet, and postcards from her father, saved from childhood that reveal how San Francisco in 1945 saw itself through its penny postcards.
