Her name was Willie, a long distance cousin of Lillian in Oklahoma.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00965556727852099845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834877731461795807.post-38841040277036832282009-06-15T09:00:23.575-07:002009-06-15T09:00:23.575-07:00I am blown away that I never knew, Ann, that your ...I am blown away that I never knew, Ann, that your family had "help" as you were growing up. I guess we did, too, although they were local High School girls that would come in to do things my mother didn't want to (or have time to?) do: ironing, grocery shopping, supervising me after school - stuff like that. My mother worked (for herself) all my growing up years - so we did have "help", but not ... black women. <br />I CANNOT WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK. Willie, I can't believe you didn't recommend this to me !!!<br /><br />-- DaviDavielle (aka, Princess Magpie)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11204266750777389037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5834877731461795807.post-12657232465512004662009-06-11T17:41:14.698-07:002009-06-11T17:41:14.698-07:00Fair enough!

It is a subject so dear to my heart, I hesitated recommending it, in case it was only special to me.Williehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08404034985478290269noreply@blogger.com
