description: Emilie Betts has written a memoir of delightful prose, searing honesty and life-affirming wisdom that spans the ups and downs of her remarkable eight decades. We witness Emilie's restless, adventurous spirit carry her through some of life's greatest challenges and sorrows. This intensely personal, richly evoked story reads like a novel, but with the triumph of truth. The shadows of the title are cast by horrifying national and personal loss in the course of this fascinating journey from the Great Depression to modern America. Her quest--form house to house until she finds home--leads from town to suburbia, city to country, and back; from East to West and back; from plenty to poverty and back again.
