Eight Women on a Journey That Will Change Their Lives as Lovers, Wives, Mothers, Daughters, Friends Just after midnight in a small town in Wisconsin, eight women begin walking together down a rural highway. Career women, housewives, mothers, divorcées, and one ex–prom queen, they are close friends who have been meeting every Thursday night for years, sharing food, wine, and their deepest secrets. But on this particular Thursday, Susan, Alice, Chris, Sandy, Gail, Mary, Joanne, and Janice decide to disappear from their own lives. Their spontaneous pilgrimage attracts national attention and inspires other women from all across the country. As the miles fall away and the women forge ahead on their backroads odyssey—leaving small miracles in their wake—each of their histories unfolds, tales of shattered dreams and unexpected renewal, of thwarted love affairs and precious second chances.In luminous, heartwarming prose, Kris Radish deftly interweaves the women’s intimate confessions into the story of their brave, history-making walk. A breathtaking achievement, The Elegant Gathering of White Snows tells an incomparable tale of friendship and love, loss and liberation.
"This book is primarily a genealogy of the third 16th of my family, of the relation and ancestry of my great great grandfather, John (Johann) Fellenz 1833-1896. John's grandfather was Philipp Fellenz 1757-1847, who died in Germany shortly before the arrival in America of his son Peter 1804, daughter Anna Maria Fellenz Feiten 1814, his wife's nephew Mathias Sausen 1812, and their families to the Town of Kewaskum in Washington County, WI, about March 1847. They were later to be joined by all known descendants of Philipp 1757 except for part of the Katherina Fellenz Rinzel family and most of the descendants of Johann Wilhelm Sausen 1763. Philipp's brother-in-law and the above are the core of this book."--Introduction
