Eunie Mae Stiggers, better known these days as: Faye Gray, chronicles the events from her childhood days, growing up in a sharecropper family, to the time she move away from her parents home in Terrell Texas. This memory filled, nostalgic biography has an upside, in that, it make us appreciate all that we have today; and a downside when she speaks about what has been lost over the years in family, and close community, ties. Eunie Mae's family moved often, to follow the crops, and she seldom ended up near a school; back then schools, for Negro children, closed during the harvest season. Still, her mother Carrie determined that her fourteen children learn to read and write, home-schooled them herself.
