All the Days of My Life: An Autobiography / The Red Leaves of a Human Heart

The memoir recounts a woman's life from childhood in northern England through emigration to America, tracing family roots, early domestic years, widowhood and wartime hardship, and eventual renewal through writing and teaching. It moves chronologically across homes in Yorkshire, Norfolk, the Isle of Man, and the United States, describing personal losses, the strains of civil conflict, efforts to support a family, creative beginnings, and reflections on work, faith, and feminine resilience. Interspersed are poems, letters, and appendices on family genealogy and published works, yielding a candid and practical account of daily life, moral growth, and the practical labor that sustained artistic ambition.
