Marion Parsons' story takes place during dire times: the fall of the family farm, two world wars and the Great Depression. A woman creates an award-winning school in a hen house in a cherry orchard. Her dreams of love & family are dashed & then realized in ways she couldn't have imagined at the time. This is a story of loss,change, and discovery. An ordinary woman accomplishes extraordinary things for those she loves.

It has been a pleasure reading "The Brass Bell". The book reviews the wonderful relationship between students and their principal, a person who could drive a hard bargain, but who could still maintain respect.
ReplyDeleteThe book recounts the evolution of a school from one room to modern brick and mortar with a stop along the way where the students and teacher shared an abandoned chicken coop.
"The Brass Bell" should be read by anyone interested in the education of children that insists on integrity and respect, concepts that need to be part of our present day places of learning.
