Aprašymas
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is a story told by three sisters that takes place in a small community in Ellisville, Mississippi, in the Jones County--also known as the Free State of Jones. It begins with the birth of their mother and her siblings through their adulthood and departure from Mississippi. The center of the story was their mother and the life and time of being her children. She married at the age of seventeen. After finishing the eighth grade, she contemplated becoming a teacher, which was the requirement at that time for being an educator, but she decided that she would teach her own children. And that she did.
It has taken almost four years to write this book including the time that they took thinking and talking about it. The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly reveals the joys, the tragedies, heartaches, family miracles, disappointments, pains and tears, and southern racism. It spans almost one hundred years, and for them, from what they've heard, seen, and experienced, they were worth putting into words.
A lot of this information came from their mother as they would sit and talk. Along with the conversations that the sisters had with everyday life, it was out of these situations that they decided to write this book. Every family has a story, and this is theirs.
This book is meant to be a dedication as well as a salutation to each and every member of their family along with close friends and in memory of all those loved ones who had gone before them. Because without them, there would be no good, no bad, and no ugly. It is a southern story.
Although a lot of things happened, the coolest and greatest thing besides knowing all of these special people is that they are their family.
