One: A Journey Begins

This is a serial memoir. A memoir told in the third-person as opposed to a first-person account, because no one comes into existence without a history that precedes it. And, this is a Journey. A journey made by unbelievable choices. It's equal parts Tom Sawyer-- small town kid who innocently (and sometimes, cynically) gets into childhood mischief and Maya Angelou-strong-willed, independent woman whose daring personality and temerity sets her against the underground social networks of urban towns in Kentucky and West Virginia from the 1950's through the 1990's and beyond. In this volume, you'll meet her grandmother, Cecil, a legatee of religious scholars and teachers and a pillar of the community. Her mother, Lila Mae, a woman psychologically trapped between what is good for her and what she thinks is good for her. And, one whose choice of men sets the stage for her daughter. And, then... there's... "Jenk." One of the most notorious men a woman could ever meet. Sit back. This wild ride is just about to begin....
