Description
Told in family stories, poetry, drawings and photos by two sisters and a brother, this book is about an impoverished Kentucky Mountain family, eight children and a widowed mother, and what became of them. When things were darkest, they heard an angel sing and the 'sweet song filled the house until the rafters rang.' The older children's love for the younger ones, their labors to support and sustain them until they could make their own way inspired the author, the seventh child, to bring together their stories with a short biography of each. She also includes a compilation of their ancestral history in the second part of the book. Many pioneered the Kentucky Mountains. Surnames included are: Adams, Franklin, Bentley, Craft, Whitaker, Polly, Mullins, Yonts, Hale, Honeycutt, Stamper, Amburgey, Reynolds, Ashley, Smith, Garland, Cox, Grizzle, Hamons, Reeves, Blevins and Phipps.
