Song of The Heart

is is a love story about life and love prior to World War I. My mother and her little twin brother were born in 1900. When she was eighteen with World War I raging, she decided to go into nurses training, in case her six brothers might need her help. She was very successful in training, and the war ended. After three years of nurses training, she came in second in the state board examinations, although her hospital was in a small town, not Saint Paul, Minneapolis or Duluth. She worked side-by-side with the Mayo brother's and their father. She wrote the nurse's training part of the book in her late fourties'. When she was seventy fi ve she moved to California with me, my husband and our seven children. It was then I asked her to put a beginning and an ending to her book, and she did. Her love story ends with a marriage and happiness ever after. I hope you enjoy every single word of this book. Her daughter.
