Specificatii
Nine Girls, No Boys is a collection of true stories of a family in
rural Virginia--Daddy, Mama and nine children. All girls. For
young, Black parents rearing a family during the 40s, 50s, and 60s,
times were tough with years of struggle. The stories are funny,
sad, and triumphant. Being sharecroppers, the family deals with
sub-standard farmhouses and difficult landowners, and moves from
farm to farm. Daddy and Mama yearn for their own farm. When Daddy
gets his first tractor, he learns that saying whoa doesn't stop the
tractor. He has to use the brakes. Choosing names for the girls is
an ordeal. With assistance from relatives and ladies in the
community, some names cause ridicule and anguish. Segregated school
with long distances to walk impact the girls' education. Teen years
and dating are difficult. The family has emergencies. The car door
swings open as Daddy makes a left turn. One child tumbles out
without being noticed. Controlled burning sets fire to the barn and
forest. One child swallows an open safety pin and another is burned
badly while standing in front of a pot-bellied stove. Success is
achieved through perseverance, determination and hard work...
