Pieces of Me

By Randi Parker

This book is a biography and memoir of the Parker family originating in Prince Frederick, (Calvert County) Maryland depicting the life and the legacy of where it all began. Growing up, there was never a dull moment listening to her grandparents (Richard David Parker and Annie Olivia Gross Parker) tell stories of their childhood memories including having to walk several miles to a small one room school, most people in their time only had an eighth grade education, how blacks and whites weren't treated equally and had to attend separate schools and use separate public bathrooms and water foundations. The computer and telephone was non-existent in their day which seems to be absolutely hard to function without them in present day. Familiar occupations were laborers such as tobacco workers, farmers, fisherman and having 12-18 children was the "norm" in many families. There was no television and many people's favorite pastime was visiting close family.
