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 both books as much as we have.
