I loved this book, the writer has such a wonderful way of making the past come alive. I am not from the US myself and I felt that through this book I could take a glimpse at what life must have been like for the writer. Great read.

My sister, Frances McColl Stewart, has written a delightful book about our family heritage. The past comes alive with descriptive personalities shaped by the culture and traditions of the time. This book has sparked family controversies which are quite hilarious and all are inspired by this book to write their own story! I'm looking forward to reading them all - - although I hope Frances will be the ghostwriter. Her art of storytelling is pure genius and families everywhere will enjoy her book!

Even if you're not a McColl, this book will hold your interest. Ms. Stewart has a very descriptive voice and the family stories are priceless. Makes me want to write one of my own...

Wow~ this is an incredible story about a family that has their history recorded back to the 13th century. Fran gives me colorful visions of life in the South on a cotton farm. I can almost feel the heat and imagine that red dirt flowing through my hands as I see the 'double firsts' struggle to make their way in the world. They were certainly silent legends... ~jeanette

What an interesting story of family history. Written with a wonderful sense of humor and a genuine sense of pride in family. Frances is a wonderful storyteller. I could not put the book down until I was finished! If you love well-written family history, this book is a must read!
