Her son, Kerry L Stevens, the lead author, fuses Berthella's prose and poetry with his memories of their unique relationship to tell the endearing tale of his maverick mom.
Berthella began writing in middle school with a poem imagining what a blind person "saw." Her unique perspective on the world brought a lifetime of challenges, but writing provided a lifetime of joy. She wrote poetry for many decades, plus children's, middle grade, and adult fiction, along with narrative non-fiction essays and a weekly human interest column in the local newspaper of her Indiana farming community. Several pieces were internally published in professional organizations to which she belonged.
Overcoming the adversity of the Great Depression and a fatherless home, Berthella embraced the world beyond the gender expectations of her day. With an insatiable curiosity, she was inspired by the beauty of nature, flower gardening, natural living, music, and her faith.
She was married to Kerry's father for sixty-five years and raised six children. Berthella died in 2011.
