Overview

Tough Choices
By: LeDora Knight

Tough Choices is intended to present a glimpse of the life of Andrew and Flora, from childhood through marriage and then to the time of their departure from this universe. Get a look at life in the backwoods of Alabama as an elementary school student drops out of school after the fourth grade to become a sharecropper. Initially, he enjoys hanging out with his father all day. But then he grows to resent his father when he is expected to surrender too much of himself to take on his father's responsibilities. See the progression from sharecropping to serving in the United States Navy as a SeaBee. From there, watch the elementary school dropout fulfill dreams of building a home and educating his children. In the pages that follow, you will see that anything is possible when a team of horses always pull a wagon together in the same direction.
