The twins burned down the house. A cousin burned down the barn. Ione (McDermid) Celsor's memoir chronicles growing up in the 30s, adventures across the country by car boat and airplane, and a 63-year love story. Through short stories, authored by herself and late husband Revely and other family members, Celsor captures the highs and lows of a life well lived. Her memoir, a work of touching reflection and honesty, invites readers into her world from her childhood in northern Wisconsin to raising five rambunctious kids. An adventurer at heart, Celsor captures traveling cross-country by car in the 50s and caring for her beloved husband as he faced Alzheimer's. Touching, raw and funny, Celsor tells her story with warmth and love.
