The Story Behind Dear Mad’m
At the time of her eightieth birthday, Stella W. Patterson was faced with a dilemma. Her decision involved when a person is OLD and how she wanted to live her “senior years.” Stella made a surprising decision and became a hero to seniors who have since loved her book, Dear Mad’m.
I have loved Stella’s book Dear Mad’m for many years and read it again at least once each year. Stella is a heroine of mine, I feel as if I know her and she is a friend. I too live in the Siskiyou Mountains, although in Oregon and have many adventures, although I am closer to town than Stella was. The beasr and cougar come around from time to time, and I lost my pretty cat to the cougar. Wish I would have had the big gun! I really appreciate this story about Stella. Thank you!
