I Fed My Children Summer Adirondack Olympic Poems

I FED MY CHILDREN SUMMER by MARGARET ROY is a TREASURE for anyone who has ever loved the mountains; one family's story of discovery & ever widening involvement in an Adirondack community including a hair-raising account of a memorable WORLD CUP BOBSLED RACE at Olympic Lake Placid; the author's son the driver of USA I. Every page is testimony to Margaret Roy's staggering life experiences; from musical comedy actress in Bernstein's CANDIDE, from contralto soloist at New York's Marble Collegiate Church, as Winner of the Metropolitan Auditions, & finally as Builder & Entrepreneur Truffle Maker in the Adirondacks. The result is a magnificent blend of images, language, historical references, Mohawk Myth, events & personal observances. I FED MY CHILDREN SUMMER speaks not only for her neighbors but also for the longing of the human spirit that draws hundreds of thousands who can only imagine what it is like to live year-round in her beloved forest full of ladyslippers, raccoons & unending ice & snow.
