description: This is a group of short stories from the memory of the author. He grew up on farms where he and his family were sharecroppers. His family, like so many others, was trying to survive the hard times that were upon them. The purpose of this story is to inform the younger generations of today of the hardships endured and of the arts used for survival by generations before them, and to maybe rekindle some memories in the minds of other people who lived through these same times. May it also awaken everyone as to how rapidly we are losing family traditions and sentimental values.
