Children and parents everywhere can learn something from this intimate biography of two rather plain-spoken, salt-of-the-earth people, Blanche and Norman. Award-winning author R. Kent Tipton gives readers an inside look at his parents. What was their background like and where did they grow up? What did he learn from each? How did their life experiences help to shape the author's life? Learn the key role that a sense of humor played in keeping the author's family together. Read about the useless emotion of anger, and how it can divide and subdue a family. Is poverty a permanent condition or can it be a motivator to reach for higher ground. To be objective in writing about one's parents is not an easy task, but Tipton manages to tell his story with sometimes painful honesty and candor. Families will appreciate Tipton's unvarnished perspective of his parents.
