While the flood of world events pulls entire societies along in its currents, occasionally small eddies appear in slower recesses near the edges. It wasn’t that we were unaffected by the rest of the world, but life in the gentler flow offered a healthy distance that allowed us to focus more on what we considered important. And for us, that was family."I can't help remembering the things that were most precious to me..." says one of Shakespeare's characters. This is a book of memories—my memories of what still seem just a few bends back upstream. Somewhere in that world, there was a distant war… New inventions were changing how everyone did everything… Great people were making speeches and changing ideas… I watched and listened, but at the end of the day, we were blessed again with just each other.
A Sharecroppers Daughter is a wonderful depiction of life in early days of rural Arkansas. I myself spent many summers at my grandparents house in Arkansas. They also had the white ceramic light fixture in the ceiling that was turned on and off with a string! One of the names in Lenora's book is a distant relative to me. The thing that strikes me the most about these wonderful people is their faith. No matter the situation they always turned to God for strength and to be led by Him when they were at a loss. I love this book very much and I wish i could spend some time with Ms. Lenora McWilliams to hearo re about her life. I sincerely recommend this book!
This book is incredible. Written by a wise, Christian woman who has lived through many trials and joys in her life. So good it could be fiction, but it’s her life! God bless you McWilliams family.
