About the Book

'Nessie' is a compilation of memoirs of the life of a truly remarkable woman, totally undauntable in her convictions, a born leader, and a genuine friend.

Scenes and Themes

Painting scenes born of union strikes and personal loss to unique neighbors, 'Nessie' offers a strong insight to rural life during the Great Depression, and the following war and post-war years.

Legacy

Nessie was a force—a happy force—as these stories depict, in protecting family and friends alike, and a tribute to women everywhere.
