Calling In Search of Susanna an auto/biography is at once accurateand ambiguous. "Susanna" is three different persons brought togetherfrom a European past and an American present. Susanna SimmerlYoungblut is the ancestor who, having birthed an "illegitimate"daughter in her native Luxembourg village, emigrated in 1857 to Iowa.This book is in part her biography.

Calling In Search of Susanna an auto/biography is at once accurateand ambiguous. "Susanna" is three different persons brought togetherfrom a European past and an American present. Susanna SimmerlYoungblut is the ancestor who, having birthed an "illegitimate"daughter in her native Luxembourg village, emigrated in 1857 to Iowa.Her great-great-granddaughter is Suzanne, the autobiographer and mother of Rachel Susanna, now apre teenager. One strand knitting the trio together is the fact thatSuzanne Bunkers is a single-that is, unmarried or "natural"-Minnesotamother. Along with other members of an extended family, allthree Susannas have shared Iowa and Minnesota homeplaces; theRoman Catholic faith, with its devotion to the Virgin Mary; and astaunch self-sufficiency, the full extent of which the youngest Susannahas yet to claim as her birthright. Yet their common story is trulyautobiography. For Suzanne Bunkers, a teacher of English and women'sstudies at Mankato State University, has made it. She presides at itscenter. Around her is built a family history within social and culturalcircumstances uniting two rural worlds 4,500 miles and a century ormore apart. Throughout, Bunkers' emphasis is upon women's identities,capacities, histories, destinies. Where men figure in this bold narrative-as in chapter 3, "In the Name of the Father" -they are seenthrough the eyes of mothers, wives, lovers, relatives-women who are themselves breadwinners and homemakers, teachers and students,travelers and communicants. "Home" in its widest sense has womenat its heart.
