Escape with Dollycas Into a Good Book

Dollycas’s Thoughts:
“Elle Mott has penned a loving memoir telling the world what an extraordinary woman her great-grandmother, Marie Conner was. Marie Conner was born during an era when women were expected to remain in the background, their voices seldom heard, and their contributions often overlooked. Society dictated that women care for their families, leaving leadership and public matters to men. Despite these constraints, Marie was determined to prove her worth, especially to her father…. Ms. Mott goes into great detail about Marie’s daily life…. [she] brought the community together to help others.”

“I’ve been thinking a lot about the stories we tell, and the ones that don’t always get the spotlight they deserve. Today I’m sharing a few excerpts…. a powerful portrait of a woman who refuses to stay small in a world that expects her to…. I hope these excerpts draw you in as much as they did me.” —CC
