The Crop Duster’s daughterline
I was driving on a graveled road leaving a trail of dust behind me and singing at the top of my voice I was rounding a very tall for Kansas kind of hill It was one of those curves that seemed to go on forever I wasn t paying much attention to the road or as it turned out to my mom s flying signals either. The Crop Duster’s daughterdot That changed abruptly when suddenly my mom was flying low and straight at me We were eye to eye I could see her laughing as we locked eyes Now I understand why my pony Silver didn t care for this Mom was very careful as she flew right over the hood and roof of the car She dropped a flag from her automatic flagman mounted on the right wing. The Crop Duster’s daughterdisney In retrospect it was a marvel that I didn t crash On the other hand this was pretty par for my mom I came by this naturally guys This proves it The good news is that I got her message I was approaching an otherwise unmarked turn that I needed to make and Mom just wanted to get my attention so I didn t miss it Mission accomplished Laundry necessary The Crop Duster s Daughter
The Crop Duster s Daughter is a heartwarming and enjoyable read Author Rhonda Colia shares her story and that of her Mother with us in this loving memoir Author Colia shares many fond memories of growing up with her mother and father starting with Mary Leota Mae Burks Rhonda s mother We learn of her mother s past how she became a crop duster and how her father was a mechanic We are taken on a timeline of Rhonda s parent s life from getting married having children starting a career and divorcing Then their children grow up starting their own families and soon after losing their parents. The Crop Duster’s daughtereys pub I enjoyed reading about Rhonda s childhood and I felt her love and admiration for her mother through her words Her mother was intelligent and determined and went against all odds even during tough times My favorite part of reading this memoir is when the author shares with readers her memory of waking up at 2 am with her mother to make homemade cake doughnuts These are the memories that stay with you forever and this is something Rhonda can pass down to her children The author included pictures of her family along with a quick description of the image which was nice to put a face to the names but I felt like this was very personal and something that the author should ve shared with just her family There were times when it was a little hard for me to connect with some of the author s stories because I did not know her family and there was much detail included that I felt was not necessary The Crop Duster s Daughter is a beautiful journey into the author s world and the life that her mom provided for her The lessons her mom imparted to her daughter have helped shape the woman she is today and that is a legacy worth telling I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a thoughtful memoir of a family who shares a love for airplanes English
