Was the happy housewife of the 1950s really all that happy? 
  
Women in post-war America should have been contented to live a Leave it to Beaver life. They had it all: generous husbands with great jobs, comfortable suburban homes with nice yards and a two-car garage, and plenty of house-cleaning and PTA meetings to fill their time. 
  
It was the perfect recipe for happiness and fulfillment. Women's magazines told them so. Advertisements told them so. Doctors told them so. 
  
They were sold a bill of goods about post-war life. Some bought it. But some didn't. This book is about those women who didn't. 
  
Five stories. Five women. Five journeys of self-discovery. 
  
Purchase Lessons From My Mother's Life today to walk in the shoes of five American women living in the 1950s, maybe women like your mother or grandmother. Maybe women like you. 
  
This book also includes an Author's Note and a bonus chapter from The Specter, the first book of the author's Gilded Age family saga, the Waxwood Series.

    Don't let her age fool you. Maud may be nearly ninety, but if you cross her, this elderly lady is more sinister than sweet.Just when things have finally cooled down for eighty-eight-year-old Maud after the disturbing discovery of a dead body in her apartment in Gothenburg, a couple of detectives return to her doorstep. Though Maud dodges their questions with the skill of an Olympic gymnast a fifth of her age, she wonders if suspicion has fallen on her, little old lady that she is. The truth is, ever since Maud was a girl, death has seemed to follow her.In these six interlocking stories, memories of unfortunate incidents from Maud's past keep bubbling to the surface. Meanwhile, certain problems in the present require immediate attention. Luckily, Maud is no stranger to taking matters into her own hands . . . even if it means she has to get a little blood on them in the process.*Includes cookie recipes*

    The Barracks Thief is the story of three young paratroopers waiting to be shipped out to Vietnam. Brought together one sweltering afternoon to stand guard over an ammunition dump threatened by a forest fire, they discover in each other an unexpected capacity for recklessness and violence. Far from being alarmed by this discovery, they are exhilarated by it; they emerge from their common danger full of confidence in their own manhood and in the bond of friendship they have formed.This confidence is shaken when a series of thefts occur. The author embraces the perspectives of both the betrayer and the betrayed, forcing us to participate in lives that we might otherwise condemn, and to recognize the kinship of those lives to our own.
