The Women in the Mirror: the Writing of a Family Memoir Marguerite Morris Willis

Life takes our author down unexpected roads. Events, thoughts and remembrances are filed away waiting for Marguerite to pull them together in this three tiered narrative. Marguerite Morris Willis is a life long letter writer, amateur demographer and historian. Willis, the oldest of ten children, has candidly and humorously written about the process of the writing a family memoir. The story goes beyond the personal to a more general appeal as the author looks at the broader, historical perspective. The joint themes of resourcefulness and creativity weave a timely story in this recessionary period of American history.
