*Seven Voices, One Dream *by Mary Ann Cahill is another "history" book --
copyright 2000something. Mostly, it's well-organized interviews with each of
the Founding Mothers (including the author herself) -- I found it more warm
and fuzzy than *Pearls* personally, while also being very informative. *the
LLLove Story* is late-70s/early-80s, I think, and a good read as well. *
Pearls* felt like part 2 of that to me, a bit.

wetnurse placed by a dr in a 1918 newspaper at the public library a couple
weeks ago
