Just ran across two books that I'm going to pick up for my holiday reading. I read the reviews of them and I recommend you check them out.
A story of a 101 year old George Dawson an African-American in Texas. His life has spanned 3 centuries. He lived through segregation in the South. This book reminds me of Angela's Ashes. What's so remarkable is both the upbeat title and the fact that he was an illiterate who started school at age 98 and is working towards his GED. An amazing person and story. This is a book I must read.
A novel that carries the message that life always has a second verse or second chance.
