' Little White Shoes, by Marie Eslanda Moore, a native of rural North Carolina who ' grew up during . the Depression years, was publish- ed in 1975, It's theme is timeless and a delightful little book "which can be completed in -' ' one ' , evening. Here is the moving story of a' woman's fear of childbirth and the loss of her first love. " . However, she is not fated to be deprived of woman's most precious gift, and the balance of the work is devoted to an account of a new romance and the heroine's fulfillment. as a woman.- e-:-: ; ' Marie Eslanda Moore was salutatorian of her high school class and .earned a four-year scholarship. After one year at Bennett College, Greensboro-, she went to New York to at tend the Eastern School for Physicians' Aides and took a certificate as.1 medical techni- cian. She worked, as chief ttechnician in the Bronx hospital for many years, and, until ;1974,vwas supervisor at Maimonides , Hospital in Brooklyn. In 1959, Ms. Moore attended Carnegie, College in Cleveland, where she earned Jthe associate degree as medical "echnbiogist. 4. Throughout the years, Ms. . Moore pursued her hobby of writing poetry,"- stories and scientific papers, one of which has. been published in a na tional journals . Out of her deep feeling about punitive ex-wives and primitive divorce laws, Marie " Eslanda Moore weaves a poig-. nant . story of passion and depth; ' .-i Bette Shelton had known Dr. Keith Westly all her life -had dated him in high school and through col lege but "could not bring herself to accept his proposal of marriage. Even though she is a registered nurse, a deep seated fear of childbirth resulting from a late and dif ficult puberty prevents her. from fulfilling herself as a woman. As she pursues her single way, the years pass and she grows ever more lonely. Drop ping into a cocktail lounge after a. long stint jn the. operating room, she - meets Ward a handsome, disturb ing,' demanding man with whom she falls deeply in love. The way these lovers resolve the many difficulties facing them, the way they embark upon parenthood despite their irregular situation will surely tug at the heart-strings of readers fed up with the rough, pornographic trend in present day novels. Little White Shoes is a story of true love, of tenderness and dignity, as these lovers live out their destiny. .
