Abstract:
Rich in historical and geographical detail, Memories Stir the Heart is the compelling story of a woman who lived during the mid-1800’s. The story begins as Molly Hoehne learns of the death of her husband, cattle driver Jesse Hoehne. After his funeral, Molly sits on the porch with her daughters and places Jesse’s spurs and a picture into an old weathered chest filled with cherished keepsakes. In the midst of tragedy, she looks at the remembrances of days gone by and reminisces about her life, recalling her hopes, dreams, loves, heartaches, and the adversities she has encountered.
