93 and Counting

Barbara Martin Shew’s memoir unfolds through 93 years so far, collected from interviews with her children and from her writings over the years as well as writings from her late husband, Randall Emmett Shew. Spanning some of the most tumultuous times in her own life, as well as in the world, she tells her unique story here. She and Randy were Depression babies born in the turbulent year of 1929. The narrative weaves its way through many changes, personal and cultural, and brings us to the present day and the challenges we all still face—an optimistic and entertaining true story.
