Reseña del libro "An Acclimation to Life (en Inglés)"
"It was a girl-a pink blanket was hung in the window, and Gus and Ilani named the child that was born at home in 1942, Taska Winona Trueblood." Daughter, sister, wife, mother, teacher, and counselor. All are titles Taska Trueblood has held throughout her life. Born to Gus and Ilani Trueblood and sister to Laval Trueblood, Taska grew up on a forty-acre farm with a close family. Spending her days playing in the dirt, running after her brother, and being frustrated with having to stop playing to go pee, Taska showed early on that she would be spirited all her life. The quizzical and expressive child would grow into a smart and talented teenager. She excelled in school, writing, mathematics, and baton twirling. From teenager to young adult, she would marry Shawn Stevens, and become a teacher as she wanted. Motherhood would follow a few years behind this. Taska has lived life with a loving family and faced tragedy, disappointment, excitement, special moments, and average days. Attending college, accepting her first job, marrying, and so much more. Life with its ups and downs are shown in the story of Taska's life and the lives of her family members. Memoirs give us a look into the lives of others, and a glimpse of what they experienced throughout their life. The memoir of Taska Trueblood is the story of a sweet and vivacious woman and the life she lived. She faced everything that came at her head on, whether it be struggling with reading in first grade, conflict with other majorettes in high school, or not being able to conceive a child in adulthood. Beginning from the time before her birth, and continuing on to this very year, join Taska on the journey of her life in An Acclimation to Life: What Ever It Brings.
