All the Days of My Life: The First Ninety Years God's Prevenient Grace in Action

From there she chose to become a secretary and attended Temple Secretarial school in Washington D.C. graduating in 1941. Eleanor has been writing articles and short stories for much of her life. While in mid-life she wrote the story of her friend Anne Wetzells miraculous healing titled He Touched Her. She submitted her manuscript to a Christian Writers contest by Warner Press Anderson Indiana where it won second prize and was subsequently published. In the 1970s the Montrose School was scheduled to be demolished by the State Highway Administration. Director Eileen McGuckian of Peerless Rockville rescued it. She asked Eleanor to write a history of the school she had attended as a child. Her book Montrose School The First Ninety Years was published by Peerless in 1990. In the late 1990s Eleanor discovered letters her father had written to her mother. Her mother had traveled from Maine to Kentucky to teach black children who had no public schools. Thinking this was a story that must be told Eleanor set about writing her third book Miss Apple the Story of a Maine Teacher in Kentucky published in 2002 by AuthorHouse. Eleanors gift for writing poems convinced her friend Eileen that they should be published and another friend Peggy Bjarno agreed to compile her fourth book in 2003 Portraits in Poetry. In her book All the Days of My Life Eleanor tells how she became a Christian at ten years of age and how that influenced the many important decisions of her life to come.
