title: About Earline
author:  Carol Ann Wilson 
description: In ABOUT EARLINE Carol Wilson writes of her mother with such love that she can show us Earline as she is, neither sugar-coating the story nor humbling her subject. And her subject is really something! Earline proves once again that extraordinary lives can spring--vault!--from ordinary circumstances. All it takes is enough daring, determination, and resilience for six people and an enormous capacity for friendship and you too might create a life of amazing adventures, misadventures, and narrow escapes.

  changed into Lady Stanton"s favorite. Her companion"s gaze lifted from the
  fabric in her hands and met Felicity"s.
  
  “It"s always such a pleasure to have you come here and play.” Lady Stanton
  sighed. “Wesley hardly ever comes here anymore, now that he is married.”
  
  Felicity barked out a laugh as she continued the music. “A marriage you had
