Description

Ring, ring, ping, ping, all day long.
In a village, long ago, young Catherine loves to hear the hammering from Andre the blacksmith's shop — ring, ring, ping, ping, all day long. She yearns to become his apprentice to learn the trade, but father says, "It's not really a trade for young women." That doesn't stop Catherine, who isn't afraid of tradition or hard work.
Catherine had the most important tools in her toolkit even before her first day: patience, persistance, a passion for learning and a dream to follow. No doubt she will become — like Dorothy Steigler, Elizabeth Brim and Lorelei Sims — a fine blacksmith, who just happens to be a woman. As in the Robert Frost poem, two roads diverged and she took the one less travelled by, and that has made all the difference. — Rory MacKay, amateur blacksmith
