Leeds, ME Author Publishes New Book

A Memory at Large, a new book by Margaret Mason, has been released by RoseDog Books.

A Memory at Large is the compilation of memories of a 67-year-old woman, Margaret Mason. These memories are based on the truth as she sees it. Mason was inspired to write after the many encouraging side notes that Mrs. Parker had put on her writing papers at Mid-State College. She started writing short stories to give her daughter, Rose, an idea of what it was like to live in the late-forties. She meant only to touch on the fun times, but as she wrote, the not-so-fun times crept in and some of the stories were graphic enough to be upsetting to her, not to mention her daughter. She continued writing, thinking it would somehow be therapeutic.

About the Author

Margaret Mason was born and raised in central Maine in the 1940s, when life was much different than that of today. After working in the area mills for 38 years, she returned to school and received a degree as a medical secretary, graduating from college 40 years after graduating from high school.

Mason has survived a life that not many could have. However, through all of the injustice and sickness of the generation before her, she has become a generous friend, a kindhearted person and someone with a phenomenal sense of humor. She makes everyone laugh, with simple, mundane happenings that no one else thinks of, and laughter is always around her.

A Memory at Large is a 98-page paperback with a retail price of $14.00. The ISBN is 978-1-4349-8730-3. It was published by RoseDog Books of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
