BUBBA JONES
In early 1969 a man by the name of Bubba Jones lived on the outskirts of Greenville, Mississippi. He had a wife name Mary Jane and four kids. The oldest was a girl by the name of Rose Anne. Rose Ann started high school that year.
If you had asked any local how to describe Bubba you would have received one of the following answers. Not necessarily in the order that I am listing them.
1.Red neck
2.White trash
3.Retard
If you had asked the same question in January of the following year you would have gotten this answer.
1.Rich uppity red neck
2.Rich white trash
3.Richest retard in the county
Amazing how winning over a million and a half dollars in a lottery can change some things and then not change other things at all.
If you had asked me, I would have given you the same answer both times. Hard working God fearing family man.
This a book about a man that was hated not because of who he was but where he came from.
Find out how a man survived poverty and wealth by always listens to God first and his wife second. Hopefully, you’ll see a little of yourself in Bubba and Mary Jane. If not maybe it will cause you to want to.

Not just a another rags to riches story
A lot of books have the theme of a poor person making it rich. Most are so unbelievable they are almost comical. This story is different. The characters are made to be so real, you feel as they are your own neighbors. The story is so well told you feel as if the author is sitting beside you telling it to you. If I had to put the book down for a little bit, I would find my self thinking about it and wondering how bubba and his family were doing

This was a good book. It makes one think of others,and what we can do for them with little or a lot a financial assistance.

Not sure what to make of this......
A fairly well written story about a lottery winner years ago in Mississippi. It held my interest. I did complete it.
