About the Book Bev Starr's mother and father were truly opposites, and her perhaps overly inquisitive mind often wondered how two people growing up in basically the same area, even though a couple of decades apart, could view life so differently. The unhappiness Starr witnessed at an early age sparked the urge to dig deeper into the physical, psychological, emotional, economic, and belief systems within their families. This became even more important to Starr as she suddenly found that she was to bring her first child into this world that she had so many questions about. She also realized that...
About the Book Bev Starr's mother and father were truly opposites, and her perhaps overly inquisitive mind often wondered how two people growing up in basically the same area, even though a couple of decades apart, could view life so differently. The unhappiness Starr witnessed at an early age sparked the urge to dig deeper into the physical, psychological, emotional, economic, and belief systems within their families. This became even more important to Starr as she suddenly found that she was to bring her first child into this world that she had so many questions about. She also realized that other than the Bible, just as preparation for becoming a wife, she was unaware of any real, down-to-earth-instructions available to prepare that scared 20-year-old for one of the most important opportunities she would ever be afforded. Bev Starr's original intent for The Other Side of the Bridge is to ensure that her children and grandchildren would have a better understanding regarding the history of their ancestors as well as a more personal feeling of having actually known them. This came from Starr's desire to know more than just the names of her ancestors, but to know what their interests, vocations, dreams might have been. Along with knowing more about them in a personal light, Starr also wanted to know what role they may have played in the development of our great nation. We often forget that the prosperity and the lives we live today didn't just happen, and Starr has always wondered if any of her great-great grandparents or their ancestors were actually a part of the history of the Civil War. Starr remembers what she has heard somewhere down the line, but has no factual documentation, which would mean so much to her as well as the ability to pass it on to my children. About the Author Bev Starr loved to write as a young student. She was encouraged by her seventh grade teacher, Ms. Speight, whom she credits with encouraging her to pursue writing and to further her education. Bev was awarded a scholarship upon completing high school, but instead went to work to help provide for her family.
