Book Synopsis
Rare was the woman who succeeded in a man’s world after the Second World War. Widowed at the age of 34 in 1946, Marian Langdon, mother of nine children, became the instant owner-operator of her own scrap metal company. She not only worked with a cutting torch in a tough business, but she simultaneously raised a large, talented family. She also contributed enormously to her community. Honored as Mother of the Year in Idaho, she was the runner-up in the nation for this prestigious award. Given the challenges she had to overcome, and the tenacity she displayed, her example is an inspiration to all—single mothers, parents, business women and others. Marian’s story—filled with fascinating tales of Idaho in mid-20th century America—is told with love and filled with parenting insights for all of us today.
