(show)  Jane Kirkpatrick - Newberry Habitat for Humanity Walk Committing to work towards effecting positive change is something Jane Kirkpatrick practices in her own life. Every year she donates time to lead a walk here in Sunriver benefiting Newberry Habitat for Humanity. We have good, hardworking families here in Central Oregon that are unable to afford a home. That just seems so wrong. May is a lovely month, just the promise of summer with comfortable temperatures perfect for walking. Walk along with Jane Kirkpatrick and help your neighbors reach the goal of owning a home. Tickets are $10 with all the proceeds benefiting Newberry Habitat for Humanity. You can have fun while effecting positive change. On Sunday May 5th at 11:30 AM join Jane Kirkpatrick for a grand walk. The 3.1 mile route begins at Sunriver Books & Music, proceeds to the Lodge, across the meadow with a view of Mt. Bachelor and returns to Sunriver Books & Music. To purchase tickets costing $10 for the walk contact Sunriver Books & Music. Jane's latest book, One Glorious Ambition, also tells the story of a woman who changed the world for the better.

What I enjoy most about Jane Kirkpatrick’s books is the way they bring to life the stories of strong women who had a positive influence on their time. One Glorious Ambition; The Compassionate Crusade of Dorothea Dix is the story of such a woman. Thank heavens for the zealots, the true believers who look on a wrong in the world and have the chutzpah to believe they can make a difference. Edmond Burke said “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Let’s amend that to include women. Dorothea Dix was always involved in fixing, or at least trying to fix, wrongs. As a mere child she trudged for miles through winter snow to reach her grandmother’s house in an appeal to help her siblings. As a teenager she opened a school. Her life changed when she agreed to teach a Sunday school class to a group of women incarcerated in a Massachusetts prison. She toured the part of the prison housing debtors and the insane; the conditions rocked her to the core. She could not countenance the keeping of those unable to fend for themselves in such horrific conditions. So she set out to change it. One woman. Did I mention this was prior to the Civil War, when women could not vote and the men owned the property? Dorothea, a woman, set out to change the existing order to bring compassion to those afflicted with mental disorders. Massachusetts was not the end of her ambition. She intended to make this change across the US and Europe, now that is a grand ambition, one that makes a great story too. Reading Dorothea’s campaign to save those poor incarcerated people was like reading a thriller, on the edge of your seat rooting for her to succeed. Dorothea was a complicated woman, stubborn and difficult at times too, people who believe they can change the world often are. She made a difference; one woman, one cause against tremendous odds. Jane Kirkpatrick worked in the field of mental health, she writes this story with passion. Dorothea Dix is a woman who deserves to be remembered, I suspect she would like Kirkpatrick’s account of her life. Jane Kirkpatrick has many books that tell the stories of strong women who contributed to history in meaningful ways, these stories would be lost without her. Spring has always meant the scent of lilacs blooming to me. If you love that scent like I do, a visit to Hulda Klager’s beautiful and intoxicatingly fragrant garden in Woodland Washington is a real treat. Where lilacs still bloom should spark new interest in Hulda Klager, it is fascinating to read about this passionate gardener who contributed so much. She created a slew of gorgeous, fragrant new lilac cultivars at a time women were not expected to have interests outside homemaking. She also lived through major events including the VanPort flood that wiped out a city and covered Woodland in water. An Absence So Great and A flickering light tell the story of Jane’s grandmother Jessie. By writing the fictional account of her Grandmother’s life, she allows her to live again in the pages of a book. Jessie was captivated by photography Fortune smiled on her when she landed a job in the photographic studio of F. J. Bauer. Aurora is a work of non-fiction full of historical detail and pictures about the founding of Aurora Oregon. It shows the beautiful quilts women created while they carved homes for themselves in the Pacific Northwest. Emma Geisy overcame adversity and was an important part of Aurora’s history. Emma’s struggles and triumphs inspired a trilogy; A Clearing in the Wild, A tendering in the storm and A mending at the edge. Helga Estby’s walk across the US in a desperate bid to save the family farm was documented in Bold Spirit by Linda Hunt, but what about the daughter, Clara, who accompanied her on the trek? Jane Kirkpatrick tells her story in The Daughter’s Walk. In 1896 the two lone women set out on foot heading from Spokane to New York, taking only the possessions they could carry to sustain them on their journey. They walked in dresses and jackets, with simple shoes. No Gore-Tex rain gear, ultra-light tents, or soft cushy sleeping bags for them. Their options as they walked through rain, snow, blazing heat, mud and whatever nature threw at them were to stay near the railroad tracks and find shelter overnight in the terminal. These are just a few of Jane Kirkpatrick’s historical fiction featuring brave, gutsy women. Jane Kirkpatrick has also written a lively and very funny, contemporary fiction about an author finding her way, Barcelona Calling. Annie Shaw is published by a romance publisher. Understandably her publisher expects the books to follow the program, boy meets girl, boy gets girl (or vice versa). Annie’s books don’t adhere to the format; they tell stories of people facing conflict and the choices they make in overcoming the obstacles in their lives. They are warm stories full of humanity but lacking in the girl gets boy department. Annie is worried, she is afraid she will be dropped. Her pals rally round with all kinds of wild ideas to bring Annie to the notice Oprah Winfrey and turn her into a best seller.

If you love that scent like I do, a visit to Hulda Klager’s lovely and intoxicatingly fragrant garden in Woodland Washington is a real treat. Jane Kirkpatrick excels at telling the stories of women who have contributed to history, women who might be forgotten. Where the Lilacs Still Bloom, Jane’s newest book, should spark new interest Hulda Klager, it is interesting to read about this passionate gardener who contributed so much. She created a slew of gorgeous, fragrant new lilac cultivars at a time women were not expected to have interests outside homemaking. She also lived through major events including the VanPort flood that wiped out a city and covered Woodland in water. This is the story of a strong woman, the people she touched, and a history of the Pacific Northwest.
Jane has also written a lively, and very funny, contemporary story about an author finding her way,Barcelona Calling. Annie Shaw is an author being published by a romance publisher. Understandably her publisher expects the books to follow the program, boy meets girl, boy gets girl (or vice versa). Annie’s books don’t adhere to the format; they tell stories of people facing conflict and the choices they make in overcoming the obstacles in their lives. They are warm stories full of humanity but lacking in the girl gets boy department. As Barcelona CallingopensAnnie is sort of celebrating the completion of her latest manuscript with her sister and closest friends. But Annie is worried. She is on book 4 of a 4 book contract and sales of the last two have not been brisk. To make matters worse, her advocate in the publishing firm, her editor, is gone and she is interacting with a new editor. Annie is afraid she will be dropped, a very unsettling fate for an author. Her pals rally round with all kinds of wild ideas to bring Annie to the notice Oprah Winfrey and turn her into a best seller.

Jane Kirkpatrick has written many stores feautring strong women, here are a few others.
An Absence So Great is very close to Jane's heart, the story of her grandmother Jessie. By writing the fictional account of her Grandmother’s life, she allows her to live again in the pages of a book, she keeps her story alive. Jane began Jessie’s story in A flickering light. Young Jessie was captivated by photography. Her uncle gave her a camera; it sparked a lifelong passion for capturing the world on film. Everyone in her family worked hard to make ends meet. Young Jessie was expected to contribute too. Fortune smiled on her when she landed a job in the photographic studio of F. J. Bauer. Her passion and determination caught Bauer’s eye. Bauer’s kindness and interest touched Jessie’s heart. He was older and married, it was a situation bound to cause complications. Jessie left home to make her way in the world on her own. Now in An Absence So Great, Jane will conclude Jessie’s story. Jessie had many adventures, she did not sit on the sidelines of life. She provides her granddaughter with a basket full of memories to use in writing her story. Although she misses her family, Jessie is doing fine living away from home. She has thrown herself into her career, made friends, and fueled her dreams of someday owning her own studio. Life has a tendency to veer off that smooth, easy looking path and Jessie’s life is about to face more change. A flickering light and An Absence So Great are both set in the Midwest. Jane’s last books were set in Oregon. Aurora is a work of non-fiction full of historical detail and pictures about the founding of Aurora Oregon. It shows the beautiful quilts women created while they carved homes for themselves in the Pacific Northwest. Emma Geisy overcame adversity and was an important part of Aurora’s history. Emma’s struggles and triumphs inspired a trilogy; A Clearing in the Wild, A tendering in the storm and A mending at the edge, Jane’s books save the stories of strong women from being lost forever.
