Book Overview

From a Missouri farm to Paris and across America, Rose Ann Findlen's life unfolds amid America's struggle with its racism, its misbegotten war in Vietnam, and its inherent violence. As she faces disillusionment and loss, Findlen navigates her way as a professional, a mother and a daughter. Growing up in the 1960s, she is in the first wave of post-war college-educated women to challenge entrenched male entitlement. This memoir, enriched by postcards, photographs and newspaper stories, places her life in the context of those anxious times, will trigger memories for readers of her generation and encourage their children and grandchildren to see their forebears through a new lens.

About Rose Ann Findlen

Rose Ann Findlen grew up on a farm in the Missouri-Kansas Borderland hardly aware of the rich heritage right at her doorstep. Following her graduation from Northwest Missouri State University, she moved to Lawrence, Kansas, to pursue graduate study at the University of Kansas. There she had her first glimpse of the border conflicts between Missouri and Kansas pioneers which so deeply marked their descendants' cultural values for generations to come. Following careers in higher education teaching and administration, she turned to writing. Through her research on the people and events described in Borderland Families Always On the Edge, Findlen first became acquainted with the intrepid Kansas City pioneer, Martha "Mattie" Lykins Bingham, and admired her compassion, tenacity and courage. Here was a woman worthy of memorializing! David W. Jackson, archivist for the Jackson County Historical Society, agreed and so their collaboration began on bringing Mattie to life through this biography, Missouri Star.
