My Mother's Story of Hard Times and Hope in Wheeler
In a reminiscence about her mother, the narrator recalls a storyteller who grew up poor in Wheeler. The oldest of seven, she walked miles to Ridgeland to buy groceries, shared in time and love, and helped care for siblings on the way to a one room school. Her teacher lent a coat that dragged on the ground, and she kept the classroom fire blazing before the students arrived.
