I read this book
via an Amazon-US KINDLE Unlimited download.
This underlining essence for true story of Lillie
Fritsche tends to harken back to the traditional Negro spiritual “A Motherless
Child.” The reason I’m saying this is that like the song being a clear representation
of the agony and depression felt by the children of slaves who had been
forcibly taken from their parents at an early age, Lillie had to deal with the
reality of losing her mother when she was seven.
Lillie
instead of feeling the prejudice which had been so prevalent towards blacks while
she was growing up, she had to face a similar animosity because of her German
ancestry and the unpleasantness of the nationalistic sentiment at that time.
In
this book, Ms. Hobbs has given her readers an exceptionally poignant reading experience,
regarding her mother, Lillie’s life. The author allows them to follow Lillie’s
life as she grows up facing the hurdles which were continuously placed in front
of her until becomes an inspirational example of how far faith can take a woman
if she believes in herself; which is why it has gotten the 5 STARS I’ve given
it.
