Bun. A Story About a Mom and her Son.

She was called Bun-and behind that simple nickname was the strength that held an entire family together. Set in small-town Nebraska from the 1940s through the 1960s, Bun is the heartfelt story of Bernice Miller, a wife and mother whose life was shaped by joy, devastating loss, stubborn hope, and an unshakable love for her family. She endured miscarriages, buried a young child, and watched another son battle polio before he was struck by a car at only three years old.
Yet Bun refused to surrender to sorrow. She kept moving forward, raising her boys with humor, toughness, faith, and the kind of practical wisdom found around kitchen tables rather than in textbooks. Told through vivid memories and unforgettable moments, Bun captures an era when families survived hardship together, neighbors knew one another, and ordinary women quietly performed extraordinary acts of courage.
Warm, honest, funny, and deeply personal, this is more than one mother's story. It is a tribute to the women who carried their families through the hardest days-and rarely received the credit they deserved.
