Told in family stories, poetry, drawings and photos by two sisters
and a brother, this book is about an impoverished Kentucky Mountain
family, eight children and a widowed mother, and what became of
them. When things were darkest, they heard an angel sing and the
'sweet song filled the house until the rafters rang.' The older
children's love for the younger ones, their labors to support and
sustain them until they could make their own way inspired the
author, the seventh child, to bring together their stories with a
short biography of each. She also includes a compilation of their
ancestral history in the second part of the book. Many pioneered
the Kentucky Mountains. Surnames included are: Adams, Franklin,
Bentley, Craft, Whitaker, Polly, Mullins, Yonts, Hale, Honeycutt,
Stamper, Amburgey, Reynolds, Ashley, Smith, Garland, Cox, Grizzle,
Hamons, Reeves, Blevins and Phipps.
