Welcome Aboard : 9781494893538

Welcome Aboard is the first in a series of books about the life of Victoria Farnsworth. It covers her first eight years of life, growing up on Bainbridge Island, in Washington State. It gives a glimpse of rural life during the 1950's as seen through the eyes of a young child. Historical events, such as the opening of Wilkes School when she was six years old, are written as they appeared to Victoria, rather than as the documented factual events available in histories and archives. Victoria's relationships with her immediate family and extended family are documented through a series of fun, entertaining stories such as learning to swim, going trick or treating, and the joys of Christmas . There are also a few heart rending stories that show how she copes with adversity. This book carries the reader back to a simpler time; a time when family came first and the hectic life-style of today could not even have been imagined.
