Don't Worry About The Mule Going Blind: Hazel's Daughter

By Betty Tucker

Born into poverty and raised among the migrant fields of Belle Glade, Florida, Betty Owens Tucker learned early that survival demanded courage.

Don't Worry About the Mule Going Blind: Hazel's Daughter is the true story of a Black girl confronting poverty, racism, sexual violence, teen motherhood, family separation, and the painful consequences of choices made when hope seemed out of reach.

Yet hardship would not have the final word.

Betty's journey takes her from the fields of Florida to California, where education becomes a pathway toward independence and transformation. After earning her college degree, raising a family, and building a career as an educator, she begins an emotional search for the twin daughters she placed for adoption three decades earlier.

Honest, moving, and ultimately hopeful, this memoir examines how fear and poverty can limit a life-and how perseverance, education, faith, and self-belief can help a person reclaim it.

This is more than one woman's survival story. It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder that your beginning does not have to determine your ending.
