Produktbeschreibung
In this enchanting and unforgettable memoir, Judi Lifton captures her luminous years growing up in a small Minnesota town where childhood was a time to read a book, ride your bike, explore the neighborhood and let your mind sift through unexpected discoveries. Lifton's memories are creatively presented as letters written by her fourteen-year-old self to a beloved and terminally ill friend who frequently travelled to her hometown, Chief White Feather, an American Indian storyteller/singer and advocate for Indian rights. In reality, the letters were "letters of the heart," thus never written down until rendered now in sepia-tone prose that glistens with fondness for family and friends, nostalgia for the simple pleasures of childhood in the 50s, and the heartache of loneliness and loss. This is a story that will stay with you for a long time.
Autorenporträt
Award-winning Judi Lifton's first memoir "Letters to the Chief: A Minnesota Childhood" won three awards. Two years later, "A Glimpse of the Other Americas: A Backpacker's Memoir" was published. She has been a successful writer in both scientific and creative arenas. Born a Franklin, Judi has a legacy of three generations of writers with published literary works and memoirs (some in Swedish). In 2024, veering from the family tradition, her first work of fiction, Volume I of "Judi's Folktales: Magical Stories and Fables", was published. The stories have a taste of the Midwest and yet, some a flavor of her travels. In 2025 "Judi's Folktales: Volume II" was released. These folktales are more detailed and one is written in honor of a Native American, another about a Swedish immigrant and others magical or poignant. Judi lives in a small house on Lake Erie in a community called North Kingsville On-the -Lake, works with children, plays pickle ball, takes her dog Houdini for long walks, visits with friends, and continues to write.
