At the End of the Cotton Rows

By Annie Way Kirby

Book Overview

Annie is the author of four published books of poetry, Butterflies and Bumblebees, Apron Full O Apples, Frog Houses and The Sandpiper. Her writing is extremely poignant and emotional. She stresses good times and bad. Her words bring laughter and tears. At The End Of The Cotton Rows, is different in the fact that it is not poetic, instead, her words simply paint a picture of life as she knew it, so clearly you can feel the sweat drops on your brow and feel the pull of the pick sack on your shoulder. Your eyes will dim and burn at the brightness of the sun beaming down in the middle of the afternoon while you are surrounded by cotton stalks almost as tall as the little girl and her brother as they run up the rows to catch up with their family as together they move over one cotton row at a time. She writes a story of family closeness that tied one family together for a lifetime with memories, good and bad, that each brother and sister still draw from. The advice given by loving parents still ring true as they are passed down generation after generation. Annie has never forgotten the main source of advice from her parents, No matter where you go, never forget where you came from. Her honest, humble beginning is the one thing she is most thankful for.
