This book is personal journey that a couple made when they left the Rural South to live in the hustle and bustle of New York City. Mary gives us an insight into that journey in a way that recounts her perceptions of life, as she settled and grew in the Big Apple. She became an accomplished seamstress as she and her husband built a successful life. She recounts her life as they rubbed elbows with the rich and famous from the assorted cultures surrounding their daily living. She blends her reflections on black historical events with the history of her own life. It enables us to look through the crystal and understand Mary's well grounded values, forged from her southern roots, with hopes of a better future that will lift our spirits and enable us to reflect on our own seasons past.

No list of places visited can be provided.
