| Publisher Description: This book is based on my Mother's writings, her poems, and my personal experiences. Mom quit school after the 9th grade to marry my father. Later in life after having nine children, seven of whom survived to adulthood, she took classes and earned her GED in her mid-forties. She was so proud to have completed her GED and we were proud of her too. Mom belonged to the Presbyterian Writers Guild in Lexington North Carolina. They encouraged her to write poems about her personal experiences. Mom passed away in 2009. Mom's dream was to publish her poems; unfortunately, none of these poems were ever published. These poems were just kept in a box with her Bible that I received after she died. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. There is also a special surprise for folks that enjoy cooking at the end of this Book. I am publishing these poems in honor of her memory and love for the gift of being her son. |
