Growing Up in the Delta tells the life story of author Christine
King. As a young girl growing up in the Mississippi Delta, she
realized at an early age that she needed a better education in
order to have a better life. She wanted her children to be able to
have things that she didn't have, and so she moved from the Delta
to the North-where her life changed completely. Once moved, she
decided to go back to school to better herself, a goal that
required lots of hard work and many years to be achieved. She
worked during the day while attending school at night, walking long
distances to get to work and she sometimes working two jobs. She
encountered countless stumbling blocks; sometime they seemed
insurmountable, but she persevered until she achieved her dream.
Despite her drive and ambition to succeed, however, she often found
that she was on her own, with little or no support from the people
around her. Even so, she refused to let them discourage her or
deter her from her path. Intended as a reminder, keepsake, and
inspiration to her descendants, Growing Up in the Delta conveys the
message that everyone has the opportunity to find a better life.
People can accomplish anything, as long as they are willing to work
for it.
