Description
One Upon a Time in New Iberia, despite its title, is not a fairy tale, but an honest telling of a woman's experience traveling from the free-spirited days of her Louisiana childhood to her times of personal fulfillment as a teacher of children with special needs, and as a university faculty member. Covering the emotional terrain marked by the moments of trial and joy that unfolded in New Iberia and New Orleans, Alice J. Voorhies shares reminiscences of her life. She tells about the colorful family members and friends who touched her life along the beautiful banks of Bayou Teche, in the historic halls of Mt. Carmel Academy, on the muddy waters of Cypremort Point, across the buzzing university campus in Lafayette, and in the challenges and victories that accompanied her work with special-needs children in New Orleans. If you find your inspiration in reading how individuals face their lives' challenges, if you find it a pleasure to learn how the details of living in a particular place can help you come to see the true and hidden charms it offers, or if you simply want to spend time with an author who, through the wonder of the written word, will become a friend, then Once Upon a Time in New Iberia promises to be a book worthy of your time to read.
