Title: The Daughters Lem
Author: Nila Aamoth
Genre: Biographical / Memoir / Historical
The Daughters of Lem
witnessed and survived the tragic event that forever transformed them.
Orphaned, frightened, fiercely independent, the four sisters fought defiantly
to raise themselves. But Lucille, Louise, and Nell Rose could not defeat the
notion of a Lem bad seed; they chose to remain childless. Only Dorothy sought
to achieve what she perceived to be a “normal” life as a wife and mother. In
the process, she discovered her power as an independent woman. Her own three
offspring became a new generation of the Daughters of Lem, and fortunate
participants in their mother’s improbably joyful journey.
Author Bio
Nila Knack Aamoth
wrote her first story at age four, and never stopped plying the pencil, the
typewriter, and finally the computer keyboard. She began her journalism career
in Houston, Texas, and owned two community newspapers in Michigan. For 25
years, she was editor and publisher of The Penasee Globe. "I figured my
thoughts were more valuable than the traditional penny, so I called my weekly
column A Nickel's Worth," she likes to joke. Those mostly light-hearted
musings won her numerous state and national writing awards. Her insightful
editorials, both humorous and serious, won the Michigan Press Association award
for "Best Editorial" two years running. "I believed I could
write about anything," she says. "But writing the incredible story of
my own family was almost too heart-wrenching. I think
I've finally grown up!"
