Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Across the Grain of Time: From Homeland to HorizonAcross the Grain of Time begins not with kings, generals, or famous names, but with two Prussian brothers who stepped off a ship in America carrying little more than determination, impossible surnames, and a dream of land of their own. From those… humble beginnings grew generations of farmers, laborers, soldiers, adventurers, and storytellers whose lives reflected the larger story of America itself.At the center of this remarkable family saga is Joe Rietman, a boy born into hardship during a time when survival often depended on grit, luck, and the willingness to keep moving forward. Raised amid poverty, family turmoil, and the harsh realities of rural life, Joe learned early that the world offered no guarantees. Yet he also discovered that perseverance, humor, and hard work could open doors that seemed firmly closed.As America struggles through the Great Depression, Joe's journey carries him far beyond the Indiana farm country of his youth. He works as a hired hand, rides the rails in search of opportunity, hunts the rugged mountains of Oregon, and learns to find adventure wherever the road leads. Along the way he encounters colorful characters, unforgettable mentors, and enough mishaps to fill a lifetime of stories.When war engulfs the world, Joe answers the call to serve. His military experiences during World War II expose him to both the hardships of combat and the resilience of the human spirit. Like so many of his generation, he returns home changed by what he has seen, carrying memories that would shape the rest of his life.Rich with immigrant traditions, family lore, historical detail, frontier humor, and true stories passed down through generations, Across the Grain of Time follows one family's journey across nearly two centuries of American history. From the forests and prairies of the nineteenth century to the challenges and opportunities of the modern era, it celebrates the courage of ordinary people who built homes, raised families, endured hardship, and left a legacy that continues long after they are gone.Heartwarming, humorous, and deeply human, this is more than a family history and more than a memoir. It is a story of resilience, faith, adventure, and the enduring bonds that connect one generation to the next. Through triumph and tragedy, laughter and loss, the Rietman family discovers that the true measure of a life is not found in wealth or fame, but in the lives touched, the challenges overcome, and the horizons pursued.For readers who enjoy historical memoirs, family sagas, immigrant stories, and authentic accounts of American life, Across the Grain of Time offers an unforgettable journey through the people, places, and experiences that shaped a family and a nation. Prussian roots, Depression hardship, WWII, and one family's journey of grit, humor, and resilience across American history. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. Born into poverty in 1918 and raised within the confines of a rigid religious sect, Marian Mitchell learned early that survival required resourcefulness, determination, and a willingness to question the life others had chosen for her.Her path carried her from childhood servitude to college, teac…hing, and an extraordinary position as nursemaid and companion to the grandchildren of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. With Secret Service agents watching the grounds and America entering World War II, Marian found herself witnessing history from an unusual vantage point: not from the halls of power, but from kitchens, nurseries, classrooms, trains, and family homes.She later became an Army wife, homesteader, mother of five sons, teacher, traveler, caregiver, and keen observer of the changing American century. Along the way came wartime separations, frozen laundry, coal-bin living quarters, Indiana farm life, cross-country journeys, mischievous students, family losses, and adventures that rarely unfolded according to plan.One Slice of Time: A Life Between the Lines of History preserves Marian's story in her own candid, observant voice. Written with dry wit and unflinching honesty, it captures the lives often overlooked by traditional histories: the women who worked, taught, raised families, endured hardship, questioned convention, and quietly held everything together.Recovered and assembled by her youngest son, this deeply personal memoir is both an intimate family chronicle and a portrait of twentieth-century America as experienced by one resilient woman who lived close to history without ever imagining that history would remember her. Marian Mitchell rises from poverty and hardship to become a teacher, Army wife, mother, traveler, and witness to history. Told with honesty and dry wit, her memoir celebrates resilience, family, and an extraordinary American life. This item is printed on demand.
