Bøger af Ruth Butler

Echoes from the Hills of Idaho describes humorous, tragic and folksy memories of Ruth, a girl who lived the first few years of her life on a thousand acre dry farm. The farm was near the Grand Teton Range of the Rocky Mountains and Yellowstone Park was only a few miles away. Grandeur, beauty and love surrounded her and were implanted in her soul. Ruth also lived in several other western states as a child where experiencing different cultures, lifestyles and new adventures gave her a variety of things to write about. Her heartfelt stories are memoirs of growing up during the twenties and thirties. Ruth is an excellent storyteller and her unique style captivates readers of all ages.

Ruth's second book is a collection of true story memories of her teenage years during the Great Depression and her life as a young bride and mother before, during and after World War II. It authentically describes life's struggles and joys during hard times and war times by someone who has been there and done that. Echoes from Idaho's Snake River Valley takes place in the beautiful Pacific Northwest states of Idaho, Oregon and Montana where the author lived during the formative years of her life. Ruth's extraordinary life experiences are told with a special warmth, wit and charm that we find only in the elderly. Her subtle humor is laugh-out-loud funny and people of any generation will enjoy these vividly told heartfelt stories of life during a bygone era.
