    About this ebook

    This is a story about the life and times of Doris Dockery Jackson. The book was written when I were 88 years of age. There were some good times, some bad times, happy times, times of love and some sad times. There was five generation living in my family when I wrote the book. The history of my family is cover from the 1600 to the present day.

    Let me start by telling you who I am. My name is Doris D. Jackson; I am the child of Charlie Dockery and Nannie Medley Dockery. I am the four child of fifteen [15] children. I was born August 9, 1924, the second Sunday morning at 4:00 am, in Montgomery County, Mt Gilead, NC.

    So, this is a biography of a black Christian family living in the south. It is actually more than a book; its a message and a guide of my eighty eight years here on earth. We are Christian people and God has been good to us.

    So many people have urged me for a longtime to write my saying down on paper, now that I have the time and a good memory here is my story.

    My husband James told me, if he could turn back the hand of time to when I heard him say, that I could be his shinning princes, he would slay all the dragons and builds a caste on the hill so all the world could see. I thank God for him and for giving me the wisdom and knowledge to write this book, to God be the glory! Amen.
