About this ebook
Trouble then ensues as she suffers at the hands of her in-laws. The ostracism, criticism, humiliation and animosity are more than she can bear. With her subsequent move back to her husband she refuses to live with his parents, taking instead a two room house kept for the transient labor, it being the only alternative. She then struggles to make a home. This sets the stage for interminable conflict and overcoming.
This book deals, too, with this woman's very real problem when she realizes that, though baptized into the Baptist church at the tender age of twelve, she does not know God, cannot feel that he hears her when she cries out to him from the depths of her suffering and despair. When the grueling business of bringing her second child into the world is accomplished, she decides she will search for God until she finds Him.
Flossie Deane Craig
Flossie Deane Craig was born in 1891 and is a native of Paragould, Arkansas. She lived in Little Rock, Arkansas; Louisville, Kentucky; Ft. Lauderdale, Florida; Harms Ending at Shiloh, Hahira, Georgia; Clan's Harbor at Bethany, Hahira, Georgia; and spent the last 31 years of her life at Crestwood Farms in Valdosta, Georgia. She was a prolific writer--poet, novelist and journalist--at her typewriter almost daily, though always meeting her responsibilities as a homemaker, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend. Her poetry and stories have appeared in many publications including: Kentucky Anthologists of Women's Poets (1928), American Lyric Poetry (1936), Louisville Courier Journal, Miami Herald, Hahira Gold Leaf, Valdosta Daily Times, Farm Journal, Progressive Farmer and Mind Digest. Once, after a fire that had destroyed what remained of her work (she had recently “cleansed” her work to start anew), she was haunted and beset by the ending of one such work: …were I seized in bondage, and cast into prison…by all else forsaken…. Words, words, my faithful, exuberant and friendly companions, I still would have with me. …and promptly sat down at her typewriter. She was spiritually attuned, well-read, an empathetic listener and a joy to talk with. So although we no longer have Flossie to converse with on this and that…we have boxes and boxes yet to go of her life's work. She lived and died courageously and at peace.
