Southern Days Southern Ways

About the Book

This story is about my mother, father and my family. It is a fast read that will take you on a journey of my parents.

I grew up with my mother and I remember her telling me stories about her past and her journey with my father. I have taken what she told me and put it into this story for all of the children that started with these two people.

My mother, Winnie, would have never thought how important she had been to this family structure. Most mornings, she would just sit there, drink her coffee, smoke her cigarette and every so often sing a lyric from “The Old Rugged Cross”. She was a wonderful individual who always believed that tomorrow would be a better day.

It all started along the Arkansas River and with these two people…Grover Cleveland Light and Winifred Beatrice Smith. Read and enjoy.
