"Honey, your book is too big and heavy to read in bed" my Auntie said.
Then I met a sweet lady waiting in the doctor's office. We talked about the book. Two weeks later she left the following message on my answering machine.
Forever Stalwart in Ohio: A Time of Discovery


“He felt a wild pounding in his chest and the sensation of being trapped in a gigantic bubble where treading water with all his might was necessary just to stay afloat. He had to do it. He had to say what he felt in his heart. This was the place. Surely it was the time.” (page 33)
Forever Stalwart books teach real history by sharing the lives of real people.
Volume One explores early life in The Western Reserve, now Ohio where there was definately a lot to experience and to DISCOVER. Perhaps my favorite is when Titus and Diantha discover each other! (See quote below from their love story.)

"Tuttle's Bakery ovens blazed all night as his family measured, kneeded, rolled, cut, pricked, and baked life saving morsels in secret for fleeing Church Leaders the next morning.
