Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Embark on a journey that travels over many roads, through decades of joy, pain, heartache, and love, sprinkled with glimmers of Southern humor. Kids and Cornbread Cakes takes you on a journey into the incredible life of Lucy Elmore. Born in 1920, Lucy was no stranger to hard work. Her mother, Ester Elmore, trained her to be competent, caring, and gentle. These traits would stay with her throughout life. She loved deeply and passionately, taking on the role of big sister, cook, and caregiver when needed. Lucy's most fervent desire was to share her life and bountiful love with children of her own. At the tender age of eleven, her world would crash around her when her mother died on Easter Sunday. Over the course of the next decade, she would hold fast to Ester Elmore's words and teachings to get her through the loneliness and shame of all forms of abuse and oppression. Her spirit could not be broken, and she never forgot who she was or the values and faith her mother instilled in her. Her story keeps hope alive and faith eternal as you take this journey with Lucy from the foothills of North Carolina to the mountains of Eastern Kentucky.…

[An] ambitious and skillful narrative that covers the history of Paris with considerable brio and fervor." --LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK REVIEW.…
