βThereβs a dark side to your book,β my mom told me yesterday. βItβs messing up your dadβs naps. He canβt stop reading to sleep.β
Itβs no wonder. Heβs all through the story.
I took my parents a copy of Yoder School the other day. Inside the front cover I wrote them a note:
To Mom and Dad,
You formed so much of this story.
With my love,
Phyllis
Here you can see a photo of my parents and me in the beautiful mountains of Western Maryland before we moved away to the city.
And here we are on the day I gave them my memoir, all of us looking as if the decades have aged us.
