she could not do many of the things girls her age took for granted, like team
sports and seeing the blackboard in a classroom. Instead, she decided at an
early age to "go down roads that were open to her." Enabled by remarkable
storytelling gifts, for decades she has kept alive the memory of her forebears,
and she has preserved the family stories that she helped create as the wife of
prominent real estate developer and homebuilder George T. Hicks and mother
of five daughters and one son. When asked to describe her life's work, she
says that being a wife and mother to her family was "the point of the whole
thing." Now in this book made from a series of interviews, she passes on a
treasury of family stories and, along with it, her unforgettable personality and
inspiring attitude towards life. Sallie lives in Nashville, Tennessee, with her dog Murphy in a home she shares with her daughter Susan. From the sitting area of her bedroom, she rejoices in the steady flow of new stories about her growing number of great-grandchildren.lihat lebih sedikit
