Phyllis Plowman

Alverna's Hope Phyllis Plowman

Both her doctor and son believe that without her hearing aids Alverna can't hear their conversation. They are wrong. She is stunned to discover she doesn't have long to live. Looming in front of her is a lifelong dream yet unrealized. How will she accomplish something so difficult? Will she have time to pull it off? Asking family members for help, Alverna learns no one cares and refuses to help her. Of hardy Pennsylvania Dutch stock, Alverna daringly draws on her limited education and resources to undertake one last monumental challenge, determined to reveal the secrets and untold stories of her early life, even to those who don't want to hear them. This is Alverna's story.
