biographical,biographies,biographies and history,biography and history, Thistledown Rising : A Memoir, This memoir centers on my struggle with a rare bone disease as a child. Its mysterious nature, which the doctors could not treat, stuck with me as something that needed to be shared. Children faced with such a disease may invent imaginative solutions to heal. While my experience with the disease became the catalyst to write this memoir, I realized that the lives of our neighbors and friends were inextricably related to my own life. That connection with family and friends frames images of times long ago, leading to hope-filled vistas where anything is possible. Characters swept into my life, as if blown on the Kansas winds. Meet the irascible Mr. Bentley boasting of his melon patch. Shiver to ghost stories whispered by a spectral patient. Unravel the riddles of Jim's Song. Whiff Grandfather Kearney's honey-scented roses. Hear the clang-clang of cow bells. Venture alongside a razor-sharp Lambde Helios and his irrepressible companions. Please walk with me as we come home from evening pasture to a place of comfort and dreams. Feel the time and place forgotten by most, now lovingly recreated. You see, I've grown enchanted by restless thistles on windswept prairies, the Kansas of my youth. (Personal reference: This memoir illustrates how imaginative children may be as the struggle with an illness. What an exposition! Susan McEachern, Physician's Assistant.
