Jessie Lathrop, an orphan from Buffalo, landed in Magnolia. She’d inherit the farm on one condition that she take care of her adoptive parents until they died. Trouble was brewing across the road. Christina Groot loved more than flowers and got deported. Two years later Dorothy and Jimmy entered Christina’s circus. It all came full circle nearly a century later. An unexpected death brought Adrienne home to the family farm and follow in her ancestors’ footsteps.

Description

Stories handed down to me by my grandmother and her sister working on a flower farm tugged at me. Her Dutch neighbor Christina, loved more than flowers, resulting in deportation to the Netherlands in 1914, and a second attempt at a Transatlantic crossing to America.

My grandparents would purchase Christina’s property one month before the stock market crash of 1929 and keep the property by paying the interest on the mortgage. Across the road my great-grandmother received the gift of a farm in her pact to take care of her adoptive parents until they died. The tenacity and persistence of these women in farming as a way of life intuitively led a granddaughter to carry on the family’s legacy nearly a century later.
