Requests:  0 Summary:  In 1923, fifteen-year-old Hattie Shepherd flees Georgia and settles in Philadelphia, hoping for a chance at a better life. Instead, she marries a man who will bring her nothing but disappointment and watches helplessly as her firstborn twins succumb to an illness a few pennies could have prevented. Hattie gives birth to nine more children whom she raises with grit and mettle and not an ounce of the tenderness they crave. She vows to prepare them for the calamitous difficulty they are sure to face in their later lives, to meet a world that will not love them, a world that will not be kind. Captured here in twelve luminous narrative threads, their lives tell the story of a mother's monumental courage and the journey of a nation.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hilo Public Library Large Type LT Mathis Damaged Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Large Type LT Mathis Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Large Type LT Mathis Checked In Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled Large Type LT MATHIS Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Large Type LT Mathis Checked In Add Copy to MyList
