Quimby, Pickford and Cheshire has announced the publication of Cursed: The Ancestry, Life and Death of Marion Alsobrook Stahlman. Available from Amazon, this is the second edition of Patricia Thrushart’s sweeping biography that begins with the emigration of Marion’s earliest ancestors to the American colonies in 1609 and ends with the death of her youngest son in 1962. In between these events the reader follows the story of a family living through the milestones of our nation’s history. Marion’s story, including her marriage to a religious fanatic involved in a faith-healing cult, has lessons for us today.
