CHARLOTTE, Mich., April 1, 2022 (Newswire.com) - Mary DeBord, a life-long lover of reading, crossword puzzles, and classical music, has completed her new book "Ike and Deat": an irreverent story detailing the author's family history, her parents' tumultuous relationship, and her upbringing along with her three siblings.
On her parents' relationship, DeBord writes, "People didn't get counseling in the early 1900s. Ike and Deat loved each other, but they were oil and water. He couldn't believe she loved him and constantly wanted her to prove it. Raised voices and thumps and bumps upstairs as they argued caused us kids to cringe and cry downstairs. One of the times Dad left, he had thrown clothes in a bushel basket. We begged him not to leave. He told my sister that his body would be found in the river. Once they fought over a shotgun, each thinking the other wanted it to kill themselves."
