"A stepmother might have to rise above a little more than
everyone else to make everything go smoothly and for everyone to feel
comfortable. It's one of the nicest gifts they could give."Elizabeth Howell
Here's hoping we all find the strength to rise above the challenges,
adversities and animosities to make this Mother's Day a good one ...
especially for our stepkids.
I am a storyteller, writer, librarian and countrywoman. I have lived in West Virginia over 30 years and have done the things you read about in history books--growing tobacco, making molasses, living without electricity.
