RE-RELEASED!
Martha Curtis-Dougherty
- Bits and Pieces
Autobiography
Foreword by
Rebecca Melvin
84 pages - Soft cover
As a young house-wife and mother of three, Martha Curtis hit upon a
project to chronicle a year in her family’s life. She began New Year’s Eve,
1969, and continued through the year 1970.

What resulted was a unique time capsule of the era. Often we speak of or
hear how different it used to be. Was it really? Martha’s book offers the
answers simply by following the day to day routines, the plans and the
hopes of her family. What we find as we read along is a testament that life
really was much simpler, that communities really were more connected, and
that faith was more abounding.

    Originally released in 1974, “Bits and Pieces”
    quietly ran its course of much excitement to barely
    remembered until late 2005. At that time it was
    picked up for re-release by Double Edge Press
    along with a request for Martha to do a follow-up
    in the same autobiographical journal style for the
    year 2006. The resulting effort was “Thirty-Six
    Years Later. . .” and this two book set.

    The span of years between saw many changes,
    but Martha still resided in the same community,
    and her hopes and plans proved to be as vivid as
    her first writing nearly four decades earlier.

    We hope you enjoy her books as much as we
    have.
