The Brewer's Women

The Eagle Brewery, founded in 1847, becomes the metaphor, a beer barrel, out of which the Koehler family´s story is poured. Family histories, like unfinished crazy quilts with strings hanging have no well-ordered patterns. My ancestors began to emerge as real people - both gifted and flawed - when I allowed myself the gift of wonder. Twin muses of memory and imagination worked together to make it several love stories.
