Produktbeschreibung

In Georgia Bell Floyd Kennedy's intriguing memoir, So Many Blessings Along The Way, she shared how her older sister Pearl decided to raise her along with her brother June and her dwarfed and crippled younger sister Fannie Ann - along with her own children - after the loss of their parents. Pearl's decision to enroll Georgia in school had a life-changing impact on her and Fannie Ann's life. Georgia taught Fannie Ann to read, and a whole new world unfolded for the family from that one selfless act. One newspaper article written about Fannie Ann in 1957 entitled "God Sorta Made Up To Fannie Ann With Bright Mind For Crippled Body" shared Fannie's determination to beat the odds academically despite her physical limitations. That one article literally changed Georgia's family's lives forever. Readers will be intrigued by the family legacy as it unfolds in an interesting narrative throughout the pages, enhanced by amazing photos of Georgia's beautiful family and special friends. The story is based in York, South Carolina and in Charlotte, North Carolina. Georgia is retired from a rewarding and successful career as a babysitter, cook, waitress, caterer, custodian and domestic worker. She is a proud mother, grandmother and godmother to many children. Georgia and her daughters currently reside in Charlotte.

Autorenporträt

Georgia was born into a sharecropper family in 1943 and was raised by her older sister after the death of their parents. Her life took a very interesting turn when her older sister insisted that she go to school, much to her disdain. Her academic studies helped to introduce learning to her younger sister, Fannie Ann, who was disabled. Fannie Ann's enthusiasm for education opened up a whole new world for the family and changed their lives forever. Georgia is now retired from a rewarding and successful career as a babysitter, cook, waitress, caterer, custodian and domestic worker. She is a proud mother, grandmother and godmother to many children. Georgia and her daughters currently reside in Charlotte.
