The ThreeLegged Milking Stool: Old Country Wisdom from a City Girl

If a preferred memoir format exists, The ThreeLegged Milking Stool probably doesnt conform to that prototype. This is a fast moving, insightful and often irreverent tale of a woman whose journey and escapades transported her from Chicago to San Diego to a resting place in Colorado. The author traces her heritage from a comfortable if not affluent childhood to an adolescence coupling challenges with limited family, no cash resources and the various hazards of big cities. She manages to overcome the frustrations that she faced, establishing herself in business and publishing worlds while working to find some truth and peace in her private life. This is no chronological I did this, and then I did that. Instead, the author takes occasional enjoyable digressions to the present as they illuminate and define the events in the past. These journeys take numerous directions, causing her to reflect on the value of many stops along the way. Cindy Sloan Butts is an author who publishes The ThreeLegged Milking Stool as her first book. She has previously distinguished herself as the winner of numerous writing contests with a rewarding career in freelance writing and editing.
