The journey was long, the journey was rough, But Father God sent me His love! And today freedom found its way to my soul, Replenishing the peace, the joy that the devil stole.

Buryin' Daddy
Author: Teresa Nicholas
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1604739711
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
A descendant of Lebanese Catholic immigrants on her father's side and Baptist sharecroppers on her mother's, Teresa Nicholas recounts in Buryin' Daddy a southern upbringing with an unusual inflection. As the book opens, the author recalls her charmed early childhood in the late 1950s, when she and her family live with her grandparents in a graceful old bungalow in Yazoo City, Mississippi. But when the author is five, her eccentric father—secretive, penurious, autocratic, hoarding—moves his growing family into a condemned duplex nearby. Separated from her beloved grandmother and chafing under her father's erratic discipline, the girl longs to flee from the awful decrepit house. When she's a teenager, she and her father find themselves on conflicting sides of the civil rights movement and their arguments grow more painful, until a scholarship to a northeastern college provides the means of her escape. Two decades later, Nicholas has built a successful career in book publishing in New York. When her father dies suddenly, she returns to Mississippi for the funeral and to spend a month in the hated duplex as her mother comes to terms with her husband's passing. But as she sorts through the strange detritus of her father's life, the author comes to understand that he was far more complex than the angry man she thought she knew. And as she draws closer to her surprisingly resilient mother, affected by stroke but full of blunt country talk, she finds that her mother is also far from the naïve, helpless creature she remembers. Through a series of surprising and oddly humorous discoveries, the author and her mother will begin to unravel her father's poignant secrets together in this graceful and generous exploration of the intermingling of shame and love that lie at the heart of family life.

Pages : 292
Book Description
I feel so grateful for my heritage. My mother and father instilled the principles of Christian living in me early. I watched my mother, who never preached a word, live the life of sacrifice and prayer. This taught me to be strong in the Lord. So many of my brothers and sisters are ministers. I also learned from them. If your name got on my moms prayer list, mark it down. Something had to give. She would fast for ten days without food, just drinking water until she heard from God. Many healings came about as an answer to moms prayers. This example led me and my household into a way of life that I tried to pass on to my children also. Then they have passed it on to their children. Not all of my grandchildren fast, but all hold the principles of faith very dear and are serving God. As you read this book, you will see that we are not stick-in-the-mud people. Sometimes we are silly! Sometimes we are sad, but we never leave the teaching of our heritage. I have four children, thirteen grandchildren, and sixteen great-grandchildren. We are following Gods command to Adam to multiply and replenish the earth! My hope is that as you read, you will laugh and sometimes cry with the Yarbroughs but will see the hand of God moving in each situation.
