At 91, Virginia Bliss Bjerkelund (BA’51) published her first book Meadowlands: A Chronicle of the Scovil Family. Her second book is in the works.
From the publisher Chapel Street Editions: “Meadowlands portrays the perils of the soul and the great commonplaces of human life in a way that will endure. The textures of family life, the ever-present natural world, and the surrounding community will resonate with readers for generations to come.”
“Bliss Bjerkelund has created a family chronicle with the flair of a novel. Meadowlands captures the heart and engages the imagination. It’s a strange and exhilarating experience to have no knowledge of a family and then, by reading a book, come to know its members and the trajectory of their lives in a way you will not likely forget.”
