Episode 2862: WHISPER OF HOPE, CRY OF DESPAIR by Vicky Bedi

Whisper of Hope, Cry of Despair by Vicky BediThis book is the autobiography of the author. It began, however, as a biography of the author's mother who allowed Vicky to write about American society in the mid-to-late twentieth century; experiences of Slavic, French, and East Indian immigrants at the United States around the turn of the twentieth century; child and spouse abuse perpetrated by women as well as men and the effects of intergenerational abuse; and murder and suicide.Vicky (Victoria) Bedi, was raised in a blue-collar town, Springfield, Vermont.  She gifted in music and took piano lessons starting at age 4, accordion lessons at age 9, organ lessons at age 15 and voice lessons at age 18.  She has been a church organist since age 15.  She majored in music education and later earner a master's degree in music theory.  Vicky also has a master's degree in information science.  She loves wildlife and nature and has four pet cats and a dog.  Currently she lives in the panhandle of Florida.The author hopes to educate people about the American poor in the twentieth century and to broaden people's perspective on American life. Not all Americans had the benefits of understanding mainstream American culture and society as well as knowing the language of the nation and having a supportive family. Perhaps this book could help us all understand present-day immigrants as well.https://www.amazon.com/Whisper-Hope-Despair-Vicky-Bedi/dp/B0CL8SWYK6http://www.PageTurner.us  https://vickybedi.com/#home  http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia.22224vbpt.mp3
