N2  - "The book, There Was a Time, is an affirmation of self and wholeness expressed in a woman's remembrances - of family, of home, of relationships, of the layers of enduring values and revered traditions practiced in times of peace and tested in war years. Hacienda Sta. Rosalia was an expanse of nurture, familial love and security for one growing up in its hold. And one has to walk back to memories, one has to retell the narratives. They are now, indeed, the moorings that at some point the memoirist seemed to have lost." -- from the Foreword
