On July 20, 1995, author Terri Austin Chiles received a call at
work that she had been dreading-her mother, Amanda, is dying.
Amanda Fouther, a poor African American girl from Birmingham,
Alabama, lived in a shack with her parents and seven siblings.
Though she had very little going for her except charm, wit, and
incredible good looks, she used these attributes to win a statewide
beauty contest and college scholarship. This would be the first of
many steps on a path filled with astonishing successes and
devastating failures. But Amanda earned her doctorate degree and
raised three children, including Chiles, who became a prominent
Wall Street attorney.
As Chiles endures a painful divorce and struggles to maintain
financial stability, she makes sure that the well-being of her
children is her highest priority. Drawing on everything she learned
from her mother, Chiles obtains a small but affordable apartment
and enrolls her children in the best school in Manhattan. Through
all of life's difficulties, it is the values and lessons instilled
by Chiles's mother that give her the strength to keep going.
This captivating memoir includes letters and journal entries
that provide a poignant tribute to Amanda's memory.
