Follow Lela & Charlie as they begin the closing chapter of their wonderful life together, as told by their daughter, Mable Gates, who lovingly cared for her parents on her Blue Springs property in those emotional final years. The responsibilities of grown children caring for their aging parents are less often talked about, joy-filled, and sometimes painful, but no less an important part of the human experience. It is our sincere hope that you enjoy these delightfully written short stories and that publishing them in this collection preserves not only each story and Mable’s talent, but also provides a snapshot of life in 20th Century rural Mississippi.
