Excerpt from I, Alone, Remember
My parents named their expected son Leland. Until a few short weeks before my mother''s confinement they had not known there was to be a baby. They had been married eight years: my mother was in her fortieth year and my father was forty-eight. After they recovered from their surprise it began to seem fitting and proper to them that Father should have an heir. He farmed a large tract of land which he had been accumulating piece by piece through the years. If he should have a son to inherit his holdings, life would be given new meaning.

Many of the most vivid and resonant moments in this book come from the author's experiences with their numerous aunts, and the author provides unique insight into family dynamics and the constraints put upon women during this time period.
