Deborah Sweaney was barely eight years old when her father, Frank Sweaney, died. She grew up being told by the community he served that Doc Sweaney literally worked himself to death. He became a mythic figure to her there in lore but not in person. Laughter which had been so central to life with my father left our home for years leaving in its place an overwhelming feeling of sadness. And yet, Deborah s mother, Iris Sweaney, persevered and saw that each of her four children attended college and pursued meaningful lives. That could be the whole story except for a suitcase. What Deborah discovers in opening up that old suitcase is the heart and soul of Holt County, Missouri, and of the small town of Oregon where she grew up. She learns that tendrils from her father s life and death wove their way into the stories and lives of the community. Unpacking Memories tells of a time and place that is no more the 1950 s. For those not of that generation, it offers a peek into the real decade neither Peyton Place nor Mayberry a place as rich as the Missouri soil that serves as the foundation for the story.

What memories do we let fade away as the needs of the present day consume us? What magic moments, what lost loves, what laughter and tears dim and darken as years go by? For most of us, those forgotten moments are too difficult to recapture . But Dr. Mary Ellen Grasso -- called Picola by some, Maria Elena or Marielena by others - - was one of the lucky few able to relive the deams, the pain, the sorrow and joy of growing, finding love, and building a family. In this memoir, Mary Ellen revisits her life's journey through the letters she thought were forever lost. Her strong family ties and her unique perspective on life helped her face heartbreak, the loss of loved ones, the traumatic illness of her child, and a terrifying accident that almost took the life of her one true love. From her childhood in a small Pennsylvania town to her exciting adventures in Mexico, to finding love with a stranger -- a romantic Italian national -- finding her calling as an educator, and seizing opportunities as they came her way, she shows a love of life and a curiosity for what she might find around the next bend in the road.
