Journey with Marilyn Way Merryweather as she explores 150 years of her and her husband's family history in "Time in a Box." Inspired by a box of old photographs of her ancestors given to her after her mother's death, Merryweather spent years and countless hours researching the stories behind these faces. The result is this narrative, a story of growing up in America, embracing opportunities, and learning from this country's strength.

She and her husband, Tom, currently reside in Akron, Ohio and Oro Valley, Arizona. They have been married for forty-eight years.
