On a muggy, late August afternoon in 1936, somewhere along the
banks of Greasy Creek, Life found Grace--walking the dusty mile
between work and home in a brand new pair of leather kitten-heeled
pumps, blond curls bouncing in the sun. Two weeks later, Lifie Jay
Preston and Grace Mollette married, a union that lasted until their
deaths fifty-eight years later. There was something about them,
their daughter Linda would discover, a kind of radiance and love of
living that would mark them in the memories of every person they
encountered--a song that resonates years after their passing.
"Songs of Life and Grace: A Memoir" is their story, told by the
daughter whose own life grew out of their loving ministries and
Appalachian sensibilities. Linda Scott DeRosier, the celebrated
author of "Creeker: A Woman's Journey," draws on family letters and
lore, interviews, and her own recollections to reach a better
understanding of her parents and the families that formed them
both. Along the way, she introduces an unforgettable cast of
characters: the formidable Grandma Emmy; Uncle Burns, an infamous
ladies' man; helpless and simple Aunt Jo; and gentle Pop Pop, who
could peel an apple in one long, unbroken spiral. A stirring,
honest look at Appalachia and a tribute to the unbreakable bonds of
family, "Songs of Life and Grace" establishes DeRosier as one of
the most vital and exciting new voices of the American South.
