Stories are the backbone of life. In Snippets of Truths, author
Mary Hardy shares the stories of her youth while growing up in
rural southern Mississippi in the fifties and sixties. A collection
of anecdotes and vignettes, this memoir narrates the memorable
experiences of Hardy's childhood.
From the large to the small, and from the ordinary and everyday
to the remarkable, Snippets of Truths recalls a wide array of
events-living on a farm, working in the fields, attending school,
participating as a majorette, becoming homecoming queen, making
homemade ice cream, and creating dolls out of Coca Cola
bottles.
Providing a glimpse into life in the South, Snippets of Truths
communicates the nostalgia that resides within each and every one
of us.
I remember the day when the world was told that President John
F. Kennedy had been assassinated as if it was yesterday. Everything
and everyone came to a sudden and silent halt. It was as if the
world had ended. I was sitting at my desk in a Mississippi history
class with twenty-five other students. Our teacher was standing
near the chalkboard, sharing historical information with the class.
If we were talking at all, we stopped. After a while, we continued
our class discussion, but with focus on the president.
