Ever since she was a child, Linda Joy Myers felt the power of the
past. As the third daughter in her family to be abandoned or
estranged by a mother, she observed the consequences of that
heritage on the women she loved as well as herself. But thanks to
the stories told to her by her great-grandmother, Myers received a
gift that proved crucial in her life: the idea that everyone is a
walking storybook, and that we all have within us the key to a
deeper understanding of life—the secret stories that make
themselves known even without words. Song of the Plains is a
weaving of family history that starts in the Oklahoma plains and
spans over forty years as Myers combs through dusty archives,
family stories, and genealogy online. She discovers the secrets
that help to explain the fractures in her family, and the ways in
which her mother and grandmother found a way not only to survive
the great challenges of their eras, but to thrive despite mental
illness and abuse. She discovers how decisions made long ago broke
her family apart—and she makes it her life's work to change her
family story from one of abuse and loss to one of finding and
creating a new story of hope, forgiveness, healing, and love.
