Describe Yourself:NATIVE OF MAINE WRITES OF OLD-TIME FARM LIFE
SMITHFIELD, MAINE-MAINE author Doris Anne Beaulieu says her book, titled " The Torment's of the Modest, Secluded Farm Life," ISBN: 1-58721-806-2 will bring you heartwarming laughter and tears to your eyes. Hopefully, you will gain a better and closer understanding of old country folks." It is "filled with down-home stories and humor for a true picture of how life in the country with only your eight siblings for playmates."
She describes the work as " an old time book from a girl in the back woods of Maine, who had a Guardian Angel to protect her and teach her about the REAL WORLD."
She explains, "The book is the true story of a young girl living a very modest, secluded country life in the 1950's, in the state of Maine. She starts by explaining how country folks live life year after year...Then she takes you though the hard young working years. And then how she was tormented mentally in all directions as she enters the real world. She just couldn't believe or understand the world and its language being raised as she was in the county going to a Catholic school."
She notes, "As more parents are choosing to home tutor their children for good reasons, I found myself compelled to write my true story to help parents understand the long lasting effects of a modest, sheltered upbringing before making the final decision...I only wish for parents to see how a child may be affected and how these issues also need to be addressed."
The book has also been put into screenplay format for producers.

I was home schooled too, Doris. I found it a fantastic way to be educated. My husband went to public school and the difference between what I learned and what he learned is just staggering. Things I take for granted that everyone knows... he doesn't. Perhaps you were isolated to the point of lonliness, but please, don't make sweeping judgements over all who homeschool.

Hello Doris. Thanks for stopping by. Your book sounds very interesting. I grew up in the city but had some friends that had strict parents. I saw how tough it was for them to transition once it was time for them to step out into the world on their own.

BROKEN SOULS
SHORT LOGLINE:
A young girl in the 1950s must leave her strict sheltered home and face the cruel, harsh realities of the modern world. In the process she learns to overcome tragedy and to find her place as a true woman of today.
SHORT SYNOPSIS:
I was very much a child of the 50's. I attended private school and was constantly under pressure from my strict parents that believed being " sheltered" from the world was only way to live a pure and healthy life. I was repressed in everything that I did and as I grew up in this environment. I was never exposed to any of the harsh realities that most modern children of today can see by just turning on a television set.
But the day finally came, that I had to leave my hometown. I had to leave this blanket of comfort that, unbeknownst to me, was smothering all of my social develpment. I was married very young, still a child in mind and body, and I was thrown into the city and the hard tough world that I could not understand, nor could I cope with alone.
During this time, I eventually met another woman, similar to me, and she became my guardian angel. With her help, and by making the hard decisions I was able to overcome tragedy in my life and become the person I am today.
This screenplay tells my story. A story of how parents can mean well, while doing harm that may take years to overcome. This screenplay send a positive message to parents who intend to place their children in private schools or home school, as well as our politicians. And finally this may help us to see that we need some guidelines to protect the mental well-being of our children.
Broken Souls by: James Labudde is based on my true-life story: The Torments of the Modest, Secluded Farm Life. ISBN: 1-58721-806-2. By; Doris Anne Beaulieu.
