I am very flexible.  I have spoken from  a flatbed trailer in the baking sun.  I have been to a park in the middle of the beloved Sandhills during a windstorm!  Most of my performances are inside in a library, school gym, Assisted Living facility or church gathering though.  Whatever your situation is…   I can make it work for you, bringing history to life!

Orphan Train rider finds it in her heart to forgive, heal...

Sometimes she finds the scar on her forearm.

With her fingertips, she feels where the wound knit together so long ago. Like Braille only she can decipher, it communicates cruelty and pain.

Her parents gave her up as a child in New York. A train brought her to Nebraska. An immigrant couple in Lincoln claimed her.

Call me "Mother," the German woman said.

Your last name is Schnegelberger now.

Don't tell nobody your real name, or I'll beat you.
