About Marie Conner, A Leading Lady
Marie was born a girl.
That was only her first mistake, according to her father.
In an era when daughters and wives are not supposed to be concerned with matters outside the home, Marie is determined to prove him wrong. To do this, she must break down barriers placed on women in society, overcome difficulties that befall her, surpass hardships from the Great Depression, and then face an inevitable relocation.
Marie steps into her community and into the hearts of many people to give her time and help with their needs. She wants nothing in return other than her father's acceptance as a worthy woman and yet, she gains much in return, even if it is not her father's praise. This is Marie’s story—of a rise from her girlhood angsts to become a leading lady—and much more.

Thank you all, thank you Paula for sharing this fun day with me!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover reveal graphic!
ReplyDeleteI know, right, Karen. Paula does a great job to share this cover image. It is from a timeless photograph by the late Dot Dotson and of Lebanon, Oregon, in the mid-1940s, a pictural reminder of bygone days in small-town America and home to Marie Conner who this community had affectionately called their leading lady.
