In her compelling memoir, Kaye Kimbro Rosenthal pulls back the curtain on her life in order to allow future generations to glimpse an unforgettable time through her eyes. Richly illustrated with photographs and evocative of the period in history, Rosenthal shares the story of her sometimes turbulent, often joyful journey through life and the subsequent lessons she learned.
A passionate artist and photographer, Rosenthal infuses her memoir with sincerity, wit, and an honest writing style that encourages others to look at their own lives with a new perspective. She begins by detailing her childhood in rural Kentucky, where she played by day in back of the horse barn and at night read by the light of an oil lamp. Time moved slowly for Rosenthal as she grew up, but it was not long before she entered adulthood without abandon, eventually relocating to Washington, DC, where she soon learned that love has a will of its own.
Waiting chronicles the poignant journey of a wife and mother as she navigates through life and ultimately learns how to love unconditionally, forgive, and heal from even the deepest and most painful wounds.

Chapter One
The rambling, old brick house stands to this day on the highest of the rolling, green hills, where sugar maples and ancient, knurled oaks dot the landscape. Built with slave labor long before the Civil War, the house retains an aura of sadness, along with its great antiquity. The walls are more than a foot thick; the red clay bricks were made from soil from the farm, shaped and fired just feet from the front door. The rooms are large and high-ceilinged, with fireplaces and dark wooden floors. All the wood in the house came from surrounding oaks—the predecessors of those that stand there today.
My grandfather purchased Glenn Place in rural Kentucky around 1915. (This is not meant to be historical fact; it is family lore as I remember it.) Although it was smaller by then, the acreage suited his purposes. In time, his youngest son, my father, restored the house and divided the wide, green lawn with a white-gravel walkway. There were large beds of pink peonies, masses of old-world roses, and many purple lilacs. Towering above, the huge, old sugar maples cast deep shade, causing wide swaths of grass to curl up and turn brown in the summer heat. In the back, Grandfather planted lush, green gardens that rolled gently down to a large pond with cattails and lily pads. With its freshness and warmth, Glenn Place now seemed to be waiting for a family, our family. My father brought his bride, my mother, to live in the brick house on the hill; and so my seven siblings and I were born and grew up there, with our parents and our paternal grandparents.
In those distant times, the beautiful, spacious porches found on most of the
