The story of the white, mostly penniless lady who brought up her 12 black children to college educations and beyond is nothing short of remarkable. Many will find inspiration in her Christianity, I'm sure. I don't think I like the author very much; when he talks about himself rather than the Mom, the interest meter dips a lot. I don't think the presentation did justice to the underlying facts and facets of the remarkable story.
