About this ebook

The old steamer trunk that used to belong to Aunt Donsy was now a coffee table in Delores living room where the Searcy family gathered after Clarences funeral, it was one of the few family possessions left from the previous generation. The group conversation began to focus on our shared memories and questions about Aunt Donsys trunk. Until that conversation we each only had questions, but no complete answers When did the trunk become so mysterious, and why? Where did the trunk come from, and what were the secret contents? Aunt Donsys trunk became a conduit as the family pieced together the fragments of information that each one knew. It was like putting a puzzle together as our history began to take shape to form a picture of one family: The righteous, and the unscrupulous; the determined and the pretenders; the strong and the fragile.

Aunt Donsy's Trunk
Author

Elaine T. Jones

Elaine Jones is a graduate of Drexel University and Temple University. She is a retired educator, business owner, fashion designer, community worker, and motivational speaker who began her writing career after her four daughters were adults. Her first novel, Price Road, is a historical real life fiction, and her e-book short story, Mrs. And Mr. Hill, is an eerie account of a childhood memory. Aunt Donsy’s Trunk is a book that was always in Elaine’s head. Because she is now the family matriarch, she felt compelled to make sure the record was clear and understandable about the foundation and development of her family. Life lessons, like school classes, have to be repeated if one does not gain understanding of the subject matter; therefore, Elaine hopes the story of her family will help the reader: have a better understanding of the trials and tribulations their ancestors suffered in yesteryear, respect the opportunities offered to them today and tomorrow, and learn from the life experiences of others… For more information about Elaine Jones visit her website: www.elainetjones.com
