Book reviews: ‘Stitches in Time,‘ more - TriCities.com Posted: 13 Mar 2010 09:55 PM PST Family has put together a memoir book "Stitches in Time: Rena Remembers – A Memoir," Rena Meade Dotson, edited by Brenda D. Salyers, Helen Dotson and Lynda D. Hubbard (Heritage Nook Books, $22, 2010) For years, three sisters assisted their mother, Rena Meade Dotson, in putting together a memoir. "Mother and I started putting the stories and book together in 1985," said co-editor Brenda Salyers of Pound, Va. Later, sister Lynda D. Hubbard came along, with help from another sister, Helen Dotson. The result is "Stitches in Time: Rena Remembers – A Memoir." This self-published project compiles the stories and vintage photos of Rena Meade Dotson, who grew up during the Great Depression on Meade Creek in Wise County, Va. Spread across 180 pages, this warm and casual collection tells of Dotson's love of reading, times of courting, church, work and playing marbles. One tales recalls "The Cow that Gave Jellied Milk." Another explores "The Pie Supper." The book is available at Heritage Nook Books of Pound, Va. E-mail or call (276) 796-4604. "Henry County, Virginia: Images of America," (Arcadia Publishing, $21.99, 2009) Author Thomas D. Perry takes a nostalgic look at Martinsville and Henry County, Va., in a recently released collection of historic photographs. The timing couldn't come better for this 128-page book. The region of Martinsville and Henry County has been hit hard with factory closings and layoffs in recent years. Still, this book recalls a more vibrant town, when Martinsville's textiles interests made it the "Sweatshirt Capital of the World." Today, the uptown Martinsville area has been re-invented with a newly opened higher education facility near the old Henry County Courthouse. New owners have also taken over old buildings. The uptown district is also home to a trail built atop an old railroad. "Henry County, Virginia: Images of America" shows photos of old times in Martinsville, including the locomotives that once ran on that rails-to-trails path. The book's cover depicts the John D. Bassett High School varsity cheerleaders, pictured in the 1970 Bassett Christmas parade, holding a "Bassett Bengal" mascot. Inside, a map shows Henry County along the North Carolina border, formed in 1777 and named for Patrick Henry. The county once stretched into parts of what are now Carroll, Franklin and Patrick counties. Of course, a book about this region would not be complete without a shot of NASCAR's mammoth Martinsville Speedway. While it now seats several thousand, that track opened in 1947 as a dirt track with seats for 750. "Little People Little Patriots: Saving America One Child at a Time," Steve Brezenski (AuthorHouse, $12.99, 2009) Author Steve Brezenski presents 52 short discussions on the founding principles of America in "Little People Little Patriots: Saving One Child at a Time." This paperback contains quotes from George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The book, according to the author, is meant to instill pride in what it means to be an American "and help families and communities as they draw together in a common effort."
