White Trash Warm Hearts - James Judy H

This is an amazingly meaningful account of a childhood spent in utter poverty in the American South post World War II. It was "root hog or die" for Judy, her mother, and her three siblings after their father just up and left them in the night. When Judy's momma was injured at the mill, the kids spent a couple of years in an orphanage where there was a heinous double murder. Momma worked her fingers to the bone to get her children back in her arms. Was Judy destined to repeat her mother's hardships? Not this Steel Magnolia! Judy raised millions for Florida's impoverished children. With several appointments by Florida governors, she has been called the Oprah Winfrey of her county. Her own children adore her southern bluntness and her fierce passion for serving humanity. Winner of the Florida AAUW Best Short Story Award, Judy shares her own true account of her triumphant life and spiritual quest.
