Clara's Best is chockful of all the joys, sorrows, achievements and heart wrenching hardships that confronted America's early immigrants. I'm confident you'll find this read heartwarming and enlightening. S. T. Casebeer


Here is the working cover for Clara's Best. Lord willing, with some assistance, I will self-publish this historical novel in the near future. Based on the life of my great grandma, Clara Stancil, it is my tribute to her and the many other pioneer women who settled the frontier and the American West. While I myself was well acquainted with my great grandma Clara, much of the information contained in this tale is the result of time I spent with Clara's daughter (my mom's mom) Ivy Stancil Daniels. The account begins with the early trials and tribulations of Clara's mom and dad, Mariah and Lidge Kinnie, shortly before and after their arrival in San Francisco, from Ireland, in 1850. I've taken great pains to pen an historically accurate account of Clara's life and times. As such, this narrative is chockful of all the joys, sorrows, achievements and heart wrenching hardships that confronted America's early immigrants. I'm confident you'll find this read heartwarming and enlightening.
