MEMOIRS OF A QUADRUPED: AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Written by B. Eureath White
This autobiography recounts an exceptional human being's personal triumph over an early tragedy of polio that could have snuffed out her living a full life, but did not. Memoirs of a Quadruped tells one woman's life story of optimism, pain, faith, suffering and achievement over unbelievable odds. Because of cutting edge spinal surgery in the early 1900s; her undaunted, visionary parents; her sheer personal determination and hope, this American heroine attended and graduated from a theological seminary with a Master's degree as the only woman in graduate school. She was also a PhD candidate at a time when few women pursued much more than a basic education; was a teacher; an administrator; state employee during the formative years of Kentucky's first state-wide Merit Systeml and in her seventies was still serving and giving back when she accepted a job as the first paid staff member of her town's Chamber of Commerce. This autobiography will inspire all who read it because its message reflects the awesome power from one woman's indomitable human spirit. 124 pages, perfectbound soft cover (2005). Published by Harmony House Publishers, Prospect, KY.
