My Mother's Daughter, The memoirs of Vivian Amsberry Wardwell - Introduction - It is a privilege to share with you the Memoirs of my Grandmother, Vivian Amsberry Wardwell. Lucky for me I was fortunate enough to know Vivian Amsberry Wardwell; she was my Grandmother. Growing up I often spent time with her between her endless travels all over the globe. She was a wonderful woman and a huge influence in my life. She was a pillar in her community, a talented artist and the beloved Matriarch of our family.She loved life and people and she loved to laugh; she traveled the world painting portraits, exploring faces, peoples, countries and customs. The Memoirs of Vivian Amsberry Wardwell takes us back in time to experience growing up and coming of age in the first half of the 20th century; while surviving the plague, influenza, the Great Depression, whooping cough, heartbreak, hard work and two world wars! This memoir tells the story of a little girl growing up and coming into her own as an independent woman, mother, wife, accomplished artist and world traveler. Succinctly shared in this charming memoir, and recorded as a little slice of history that I now have the honor of sharing with you.Publishing this small work is a way of remembering and honoring our lovely Matriarch - we miss her every day - and appreciate her legacy, for which we all are richer. Thank you for reading this edition of 'My Mother's Daughter' by Vivian Amsberry Wardwell. And I hope you enjoy this first hand account of a life spanning most of the 20th century. In Loving Memory, Nirel L. Jackson Wardwell
