I’ve reached the shore of my grandmother’s door,
The one from the garden, inside.
Oh, sun-sweet back room
Of my grandmother’s loom,
The place in the dirt
Of my grandmother’s skirt,
In your warm summer lap,
Hold me tight; I will nap,
On my grandmother’s porch,
Let me hide. #dvpit
A house and a yard stood between my childhood home and my grandmother's home. The woman who lived there had the air of a wounded dog, and her eyes cut through mine, daring me to cross. I survived my childhood, always feeling trapped. #dvpit
These are the stories of 3 generations of women who survived their dusty and hard-chiseled childhoods in the cotton patches of Southeast Missouri. One was a sweet-by-and-by Baptist, one was an orphan abandoned to impoverished relatives, and one was determined to get out. #dvpit
Dood’s childhood was a series of grizzly slivers of the Depression, a time that she survived in rural, cotton-clouded shacks in the Bootheel of Southeast Missouri. Orphaned at 9, she slept on the cold, wet lawn of a sanitorium, while waiting for her mother to die. #dvpit
