The original project initiated by Marilyn Norry was to write our stories and publish them as a book, the proceeds of which we would donate charity. Well, four years later, here it is! Almost.
MY MOTHER'S STORY: The Extraordinary Lives of Ordinary Women will be published in October. If you want to order a copy, or be on the mailing list for more information about the book, email mothersstory@gmail.com.
