This inspirational book of memories and poems tells the story of the struggles of Vada Caldwell's parents in raising four children and providing for a family of six. "In the eyes of the world we were poor people, " said Vada Caldwell, "with few possessions. In reality my parents gave us a life of plenty. Plenty of understanding and love, and above all, plenty of appreciation for one another. They taught us to be honest and trustworthy and to always be people of faith, believing and trusting in our blessed Lord. My mother and father were the most wonderful parents and heartwarming people of God. We were greatly blessed. This book is a tribute to my parents and family… an outpouring of a lifetime of love and gratefulness, expressed through deep emotion and the poetry given me by God for this very purpose."ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Vada Henson Caldwell, the youngest of four children, was born May 21, 1928 in Roger Springs, TN.
