By Suzanne L. Bunkers

Singular Lives: The Iowa Series in North American Autobiography

University of Iowa Press, 1996

"...a lovely weaving together of threads from the ancestral past to tell a story of the present and future. The Susanna sought in this book--and beautifully evoked--is not only Suzanne Bunkers' great-great- grandmother but the author and her daughter as well. No one restores to us the lives of women across generations as gracefully and as movingly as Suzanne Bunkers."

--James Olney, Southern Review

"...Bunkers skillfully weaves her own story of a Roman Catholic girlhood into the larger contexts of family history, social history, mid-nineteenth century West European immigration to the American Midwest, and contemp- orary returns to ancestral roots."

--Susan Stanford Friedman, University of Wisconsin-Madison
