Marie ("Missy") estimates that as the hostess for family
celebrations she has polished 6,720 fork tines front, back, and in
between. She's seen her duty, and she's done it. In Who Will Polish
the Silver? she shares the stories about her life growing up in the
1940s South, surrounded by several generations of an eccentric
family grounded in its lineage and formed by the expectations
accompanying that lineage. It was a time when Victorian manners and
Civil War pride still permeated the culture. Framed by Missy's
legacy of the family silver which symbolizes her heritage and its
responsibilities, Who Will Polish the Silver? follows her through
rapidly changing decades toward her inevitable status as an aging
baby boomer. A young girl's recollections growing up in
Statesville, North Carolina, are juxtaposed with the older Missy's
later broader experiences; this alignment demonstrates that the
values and self-image acquired in childhood endure.
