There are many allegorical similarities between L. Frank Baum’s The Wizard of Oz and the Populist Movement of the 1890’s, almost too many to believe they are accidental. However, writers tell stories about what they know, no matter how farfetched these stories may seem.

Depending on what mindset you read the book in, these connections…

Time in the Eyes of a Child Several incidents in my life could have turned me into be a very bitter or an abusive woman. I will never forget the life of fear I lived in throughout my childhood. Now, as an adult, I have found peace in forgiveness. I made a promise to myself that my daughter would never suffer what I went through. God listened to my prayers not on my time, but on his time. My mother was enduring the stages of menopause when I was born; I’m a “change of life baby”. She only…
