    About this ebook

    A lifetime of lesson sparks deep reflections on the social economic states of African Americans in Pickett.

    In a raw and heartfelt exploration of past experiences, the author sheds light on how modern-day trends differ sharply from old-school practices. Delving into topics from housing to civil rights, she offers a refreshing lens from which to view historical changes to her Northside neighborhood of Jacksonville, affectionately called Pickett by area residents.

    In hope of bettering the area's current condition, lifetime Jacksonville resident Mills highlights the beauty and pain of living in rural Florida in the 1960s and beyond. Enjoy this exceptional memoire about changing seasons of life, which are woven into a fabric of familial relationships and stories about hardworking neighbors who look out for one another.
