The author presents a powerful story of courage throughout her early life as the daughter of a poor sharecropper in the Arkansas Delta in the nineteen forties and fifties. She describes a heartbreakingly difficult childhood and adolescence which produced in her a deep well of steadfast grit while sharing in the hot, backbreaking work of harvesting a yearly cotton crop to supply food and clothing for the family. Throughout it all, her silent struggle to obtain an education is Herculean. You will laugh at the ironies of her daily life on the farm, then cry as challenges are presented that no child should ever endure. Her story also details the history of a chilling murder of a family member that resulted in a tragic massacre of black sharecroppers during her parents' generation. Later, as a naïve young wife and mother, she describes her 37-year marriage and subsequent divorce. Looking back at her life's early circumstances, the author thankfully credits them as having instilled the survival skills she later used to build a successful life out of a tenuous beginning.

The Sharecropper's Daughter tells the story of Frank Lee, a girl born to a black mother and a white father in 1930s South Carolina. Frank Lee grows up between the precarious backdrop of being black but looking white amid racist and ambiguous times. She is forced to find a balance between a mother who finds it difficult to embrace her and a father she will never know. Abandoned at birth she is shuffled from one place to another, sometimes with relatives but sometimes with strangers who value the weekly stipend they receive for her care more than the girl herself. She is eventually reunited with her mother but the relationship is strained and uncertain. This is an epic tale that spans the time of slavery through the 1950s. The characters are rich and fluent in the language of survival and perseverance. There is love, loss, pain and forgiveness that every reader will identify with.

This book is a story about growing up on a farm very poor and sometimes going to bed hungry. It is also about how to work hard and try to make something of yourself without resorting to a life of crime. I believe you will find it entertaining and yet a serious account of what to do and what not to do. You will find incidents throughout that may help you to understand that growing up poor can make you a stronger person and give you an understanding of what life was like fifty years ago. It gives a view of where we were and where we are now. It entertains and inspires at the same time.

The daughter of a hardworking sharecropper in Arkansas, Loretta longed for something better. Determined to escape poverty, she left the farm to live with relatives in Little Rock two days after graduating from high school. Within a year she headed west and began her new life in Los Angeles. This is not your typical, “we were poor, but never knew it” account of one who grew up happy though penniless during the Great Depression. Far from it, Loretta reveals, “I despised my life of painful embarrassing poverty.” Her anthology of personal stories demonstrates a deep desire to improve her life and to receive the affirmation of her father’s love. Heartbreaking and playful, her accounts are fascinating. She shares many surprising practices and beliefs from the South. Despite taking action to overcome the difficulties of her childhood, she discovers a deeper and overwhelming need that she cannot fulfill on her own. Loretta writes from her memories, sometimes as if you are there and at times as reflections of the past. This is the inside story of a sharecropper’s daughter who found herself forever drawn back to the place of her birth and the people she loves.

Come and travel the road back to where the late afternoon drifts into long shadows of purple, blue and raw sienna. Where the long afternoon drifts into long shadow, and the cotton fields gently kiss the breeze. Back to where memories were made to last a lifetime and can now be captured on my canvases.

Penny Parks is a young girl growing up in the rural south as the daughter of a sharecropper in 1949. Penny comes of age through hard times, hard work and the support of her family. She strives to better herself on the Silver Lear Plantation, working for the Hacketts in their office. She has a talent for cutting horses. Penny falls in love with Smith, the grandson and heir to the farm but is determined to chart her own destiny despite their differences. I too was a sharecroppers daughter. It was a hard time but I wouldnt change it for the world. We were taught at an early age to help out with the family, to work and we knew the love our Dad and Mom shared with us kids. Ruby Fae Corely Very touching story. It is cathartic. I could see a little of my own background growing up on the farm. I think all our lives were so different then than a kid sees now. We were innocent, patriotic, and religious. We played outside a heck of a lot more. We had to be creative. - Tommie Webb
