Synopsis

The Daisy Chain is a three-part book. Part one is the story of Daisy Petty McIntyre, a courageous mother of four children. Widowed in 1912 in her early 30s, she was forced by circumstances to leave her cozy home in the Ozark Hills of Northwestern Arkansas, where she was surrounded by family and friends to wrest out a living in a large city where she knew few people. She soon learned that the many skills that served her well in the Ozarks had little financial value in earning a living for herself and her children in Kansas City. Daisy faced hardships and destitution, but she did it with great heart and fortitude, never letting her children see the fears and desolation she felt on an almost daily basis. Part two is the author's experiences growing up in the Great Depression years. Part three is a family genealogy.

As a child she heard her grandmother, Daisy Petty McIntyre's story from her mother, Lillian McIntyre Knight many time during her growing up years. She always thought she would one day put the stories in a book. This book, at last, is a result of that ambition.
