Advance Praise for MEMORIES OF MISSISSIPPI “A must-read... Wanda Jackson’s compelling account is more than a description of life in the South. It is a window into an era where there is love, trust, and strong family values. People took time to enjoy, even in the midst of hard times and adversity, the simple and pure things of life. Reading Jackson’s well-written book provided me the opportunity to go back in time and relive those years. It was a wonderful journey. This is a great book for parents to read with their children, using it to instill values and pride, and to enlighten them about their heritage. And with that enlightenment, I believe that the reader will realize that no matter what their circumstances, opportunities for success are unlimited.” Madeline P. Floyd, Administrator for Amite County School District (Ret.) “Memories of Mississippi takes the reader on a vicarious journey through the past while he or she enjoys the southern color and scenery depicted in Jackson’s book. In contrast, a certain amount of sorrow and anger may be felt, but a sense of reality comes into focus. ‘This focus brings all of the characters and still life paintings with characters and vivid details to life again,’ writes Jackson when referring to her experiences growing up in the South. Her expressions are made clearer as she skillfully inserts memorable snapshots to give the reader a vision of what takes place at a precise moment. Although these were the author’s daily experiences, they belong to every person who grew up poor in the South.” Christine T. Spears, Professor of English/ English Department Chair for Amite County Schools (Ret.) “This is a piece of history that jumps out at you. Wanda Jackson’s descriptions of growing up on a farm brings back vivid memories of my own childhood, and I felt as though I had gone back in time. The author truly captures the experience of growing up in the South as a black child, told with humor and compassion. This is an excellent book for students to read and discuss, especially during Black History Month.” Dr. Estes Taplin, Superintendent, City of Baker, LA School System Digital Content>E-books>Biography>Arts,Entertainment Biog,Memoir>Arts,Ent Biog,Memoir, AuthorHouse Digital >16<
