In 1906 I was barely over 14 years old, and it was my wedding day. My older sister, Helen, came to my room, took me by the hand, and sat me down on the bed. She said, "You've always been a good girl, Maude, and done what I told you. Now you're going to be a married woman, and he will be the head of the house. When you go home tonight after your party, no matter what he wants to do to you, you have to let him do it. Do you understand?" I didn't understand, but I nodded my head anyway. It sounded strange to me, the way so many things did. I would do what she told me. I didn't have a choice, any more than I'd had a choice in being born.

742 of 771 people found the following review helpful. Great book. I couldn't put it down By K. Nusbaum I read the reviews and laughed a bit because a few of the reviews I read seemed to be from people who knew this family personally. Since it was only 99 cents, I thought it was book written by someone who threw it together and pawned it off on her neighbors, but it was really a great book. It is told in the first person, in the voice of Maude. It's an honest book and written in plain words, like you would use to talk to your friend over a cup of coffee. It covers 1906 through the late 1960s. I found the time span interesting to see Maude go from using horses for transportation and using an outhouse to finally having her husband work for an automobile plant in Detroit and having indoor plumbing and electricity. The books spans the lives of her children and grandchildren and is very relatable. I read it in just two days. For 99 cents, this is a great bargain.
362 of 377 people found the following review helpful. A Life Lived By Maryanna b. And like life is...not perfect. Donna Mabry takes us on a journey through her Grandmother's life, bare and raw and heartwarming. She takes stories her Grandmother told her and fleshes out each character so the reader can feel the love, the pain, the longing and losses. I cried through the book which I could barely put down. If you like a book that stirs your feelings about a person who survives the hardships of life with strength and courage, you will love Donna 's Grandmother, Maude.
234 of 247 people found the following review helpful. wonderful story! By JKReads I was enthralled with this book. I am so glad you shared this, Ms. Mabrey. Not only is it a retelling of an interesting lifetime but it also gives firsthand insights into the Great Depression, women's suffrage, WW2, and how it affected American society. I commend Ms. Mabrey for her storytelling skills and will be reading more of her works. ETA: I noticed that this story is getting criticism for being 'depressing'...life was harder in a lot of ways for women back in those days and Maude didn't have as many options as we do now. When I was a child my grandparents shared stories with me about what life was like for them during the period that this book was written, i.e. making 50 cents a day as a farm laborer, living in a tent with three small children at nineteen years old, and it was a much tougher existence. Regarding her son who was obviously mentally ill, little support was offered back then as well. I think Maude did her best with the cards she was dealt. She obviously was a loving grandmother to her granddaughter, the author.
