Wilhelmina had one wish—she wished she didn't look like this. Fly along with Wilhelmina, a fairy with a unique uni-brow. She wants to change the way she looks, but it's not that easy. In this meaningful poetic story, your child will learn that one of the most important things in life is to be grateful with what you've got.
Wilhelmina Boehm was born in Saxony in 1835 and came to America as a girl. At 18 she was married to Fred Ney, aged 21, in Arnheim, Ohio. Fred and Minna farmed first in Ohio, and then in Illinois, and then in Louisiana. Their family grew to eleven sons and daughters, forty grandchildren, and a lot of great-grand-children. In their old age they went to live with a daughter in Medford, Oklahoma, where Fred died in 1919 at the age of 87, and Minna in 1923, also at 87. Most of the letters in this volume were written by Minna from Medford to her daughter Eliza Hagius, but it includes also a number of other family letters and documents. The letters give a day-to-day picture of farm life in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and what it was to live through World War I and the Spanish Influenza epidemic. They also portray the progress of a large family as it spread westward to the Pacific, and moved off the farm and into the towns and cities.
