 Thursday, September 4
1:00 to 2:00 p.m.
Life in rural southwestern Washington in the early 1900s will be the focus of Sydney's presentation as she discusses and reads from her book "Dear Medora, Child of Oysterville's Forgotten Years." The story, based on letters between young Medora Espy and her mother, is a poignant one. As a family member, Sydney adds her own voice to those of Medora and "Mama," inviting readers to share their joys and sorrows and adding insights only known to an "insider." In addition, Sydney will be happy to answer questions about the book and about how she acquired the treasured collection of documents upon which it is based.

 “I want to express to you, Sydney, my admiration for your terrific presentation today of Medora and Mama's correspondence and diary excerpts. You clearly had taken great care in preparing the reading (from Dear Medora). It had an energy to it that increased to a crescendo and pathos. Your reading was brilliant and added to the general poignancy of the story. You should be very proud of the product of your efforts. In and of itself, the characters and their humanity come through; but you have also memorialized a page from the past, yours personally, but one that we can all wonder at."
Cyndy Hayward, Adelaide's Books (Opening Soon),
