Memoirs of Mother Love

About the Book

This is a story about a family—my family. It comes from a historical perspective that included my great-grandfather and grandfather. It denotes the life of some of their children, highlighting that of our mother and father. Lovie was the seventh-oldest child of William and Victoria Dalton. Lovie experienced an unpleasant childhood and married Birden at a very young age. Together they experienced the highs and lows of life as they spanned more than sixty years of marriage. The family experienced happy and sad times—some we want to remember, and some we choose to forget.
