This anecdotal memoir relates the experiences of musican, author, photographer, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother Lyn Burnstine, as she navigated the choppy waters of her journey throughout her seventy years. Filled with joy, humor and pathos, this collection of essays and poems chronicles her delight in nature, family, friends and music. It also takes an honest look at her challenges: the ending of a long marriage; the death of babies and a sweetheart; chronic pain and disability; financial struggles and cancer. From her earliest days on a hardscrabble farm, with neither electricity nor running water, to a three-decade career of delighting thousands with her music, folk singer Lyn Burnstine never lost sight of her roots. Her humble beginnings and midwestern pioneer heritage informed and strengthened her life with courage and self-sufficiency, as she faced common and uncommon challenges. In her musical performances, as well as her personal life, her message was always that one can choose joy, and, in her writing, it is evident that she has made that choice through a lifetime of “singin’ all the way.” Readers have found the honest telling of her story to be inspirational. |
