The School House is a devotional memoir rooted in legacy, sacrifice, and quiet resilience. Through poetic storytelling and ancestral reflection, Susan L. Kadera traces the journey of her paternal great-grandfather, Jan Karel Kadera—an immigrant builder whose hands shaped homes, hearts, and a schoolhouse that still stands.

From the fields of Vreskovice to the dust of Missouri, this story unfolds in footsteps and silence. It honors the choices made in faith, the names passed down through generations, and the quiet strength of a family that endured loss, built hope, and carried love across state lines and decades.

Blending biography, history, and emotional tribute, The School House invites readers to reflect on their own roots and the legacy they're shaping. It's a tender offering for anyone who wonders where they came from—and what they'll leave behind.
