Making a Way by Emily Davenport (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Making a Way by Emily Davenport Stories of the Deep South conjure antebellum images of magnolia trees, honeysuckle vines, balmy days, hot love, and strong women. Making a Way portrays a different version of the South. In this memoir, author Emily Davenport tells about her life as a twentieth-century woman who followed many of the same traditions but at a different time and in a different way. Telling the tale of her life from her birth in 1923 in Columbia, South Carolina, through her youth as an only child, this story provides a glimpse into the Roaring Twenties in the South. Emilys father demonstrated a strong work ethic, and her mother inspired a thirst for knowledge. It was a time when a mans word was his bond, and honesty and integrity were the mark of a good citizen. Making a Way tells how Emily received her education not only from books but from her varied experiences. Following in her mothers footsteps, she became a nurse and later found, at age fifty another talent that lay buried deep within her. Today, this Southern woman continues to give her time and energy to others. Hers is a life well lived with ups and downs; she never gives up, and she keeps the faith that tomorrow will be better.
