Dawn to Dusk

About the Book

Mount Andrews was a farming town outside of Clayton, Alabama, and a setting for “Dawn to Dusk,” a prose predicated on the memories of a young girl growing up in a country town on her grandmother’s farm.

From 1935 to 1948 this is a credible story of my experience on how we were raised, worked on the farm, and “living off the land.” I tried to describe the land, house, what growing up on the farm was like and how farming was managed, and grandmother skills to raised crops, livestock, pigs, poultry, vegetable in the 30’s and 40’s with manual farm machinery.

We were raised without a mother and father. Our mother deceased in 1932, leaving four small children. One son, and three daughters. Our grandmother,aunts,uncles help raised us. Our father deceased in 1956.
