Reviews
"You can't read this book without being transformed back to your grandmother's arms. It is a tender gift of a book featuring the wisdom of Mississippi grandmothers, women seldom asked their views of life publicly. Here, the author handles their lives with such love and respect that we hear both the beautiful plainness and power of their voices." -- Patrice Gaines , author of Laughing in the Dark and Moments of Grace, "What a beautiful celebration of these treasured women. Steele has created a loving memory through these stories and rich portraiture for all of us and for the ages. This book SINGS!"-- Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, "A captivating journey for those who want to relive the essence of our loved ones who we can no longer touch."-- Reena Evers , Executive Director, the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Institute

Synopsis
These ordinary women lived extraordinary lives under the harshest conditions of the Jim Crow era and during the courageous changes of the Civil Rights Movement. With the help of local pastors, Steele recorded these living witnesses to history and folk ways, and shares the significance of being a Black woman--child, daughter, sister, wife, mother, and grandmother in Mississippi--a Jewel of the Delta. From the stand Mrs. Tennie Self took for her marriage to be acknowledged in the phone book, to the life-threatening sacrifice required to vote for the first time, these 50 inspiring portraits are the faces of love and triumph that will teach readers faith and courage in difficult times., Inspired by memories of her beloved grandmother, photographer and author Alysia Burton Steele--picture editor on a Pulitzer Prize-winning team--combines heart-wrenching narrative with poignant photographs of more than 50 female church elders in the Mississippi Delta.
