I was born during the depression, or rather at the end of it. By all rights, I shouldn't be here. I was the eleventh child and I'm sure my arrival was not heralded as a blessed event. I should have been dead before my first birthday and tagged as another statistical victim of poverty. My family would have to borrow money to be labeled "poor". They were in downright poverty.  I wasn't a bad child, but I wasn't a good child either...I was spoiled by my adoptive parents. Especially my dad. Mom was overprotective, but I never doubted I was loved.  I am now 80 years old and this is my first book. I am pleased to share my life with you and your family. This is my story, growing up in Oregon. For I am "A Home-Grown Kid."

Stevie Tenderheart My Favorite Place to Be...(A Bedtime Story)

Sailor Eyes, the novel, written circa 1953, is a fictional account of life on the Cape outside Boston, Massachusetts in the 1850s. It follows the lives of an aristocrat ship builder, his debutante daughter, rugged and brave ship captains, widows and a young man who has sailor eyes. Courting story lines are weaved into this charming tale of land and sea and heart. The manuscript was passed down for generations and eventually forgotten until it arrived without ceremony at the passing of the late author’s wife. The grandson, William Turrell, wished to honor his step-grandfather, who passed in 1971, by publishing the manuscript as a novel. This is that novel.   Note: The original typewritten, double-spaced manuscript was published in it's original form with strikeouts, typos, notes in margins, etc., in May 2014 exactly how the author intended under a separate ISBN 978-1-62485-005-9.
