Life Around The Gnat Line: Reflections of a Small Town Girl

by Johnnie W. Lewis

Overview

A Southern woman's view of life is often formed not only by experiences within her family, but without as well.  The nostalgic reflections of living in small town south Georgia, with four younger brothers, produced a "colorful" life for author Johnnie W. Lewis.  As the only daughter of a Naval Chief Petty Officer, she reflects, with humor, on the many and varied aspects of her life, living both above AND below the Gnat Line!

Stories abound in this almost-autobiographical memoir of Johnnie's life. Stories about brothers, children, "life" experiences, trials and tribulations, but all are told with her tongue firmly planted in her cheek, so that if you hold your head sideways as you read them, they almost sound believable!!

About the Author

Johnnie W. Lewis was born on an Army base in Kentucky, to a Naval Chief Petty Officer and his telephone operator wife. That incongruous beginning was only a portent of the chaotic things to come to the little girl who was named for her father (instead of him giving his name to one of her four younger brothers!). Seventeen different school registrations before high school graduation gave her a rather "well-rounded" background from which to draw her continual string of stories.

Johnnie and her husband (always called "Better Half" in her writings) have been married more than 40 years and live in suburban Atlanta in Marietta, Georgia, near their daughter (always referred to as "Baby Girl"), son-in-law and PERFECT grandchildren (one of each), and their son (Little Fella) and his fiancee. "Critters" of every species live inside and outside their home and serve as a well-spring of inspiration for the fun, love and laughter in Johnnie's writings, whether those writings take an educational or tongue-in-cheek or whimiscal direction.
