Jackson City Orphans: Book I: Mike Wakes Up!

By Marshall Mike Crawford

Jackson City Orphans has the narrative elements of the 1930's Little Rascals and the fun, and happiness from the 1974 Sitcom, Good Times. Included in this action-adventure autobiographical novel are the passion, drama, and tragedy of a family caught in the web of deep poverty. Jackson City Orphans gives us a glimpse into a forgotten bygone era, that should never be forgotten, and provides a bit of missing history in the saga of a black family's plight during segregation in the Old South. Little Mike and the Ashfords persevere against insurmountable odds and extend blessings to future generations! Mike, the main character will intrigue you to tears and laughter with his mischievous ways, yet brilliance, and maturity. You will be enamored by his shy demeanor, that some interpreted as an indication of an anomaly. You will be amazed as Mike lets you into his head and exposes his spiritual battles, keen insight, and the detailed observation of life that he possessed. You will be mesmerized by how he saw into his future and found a way to actualize his dreams, especially for his children.
