Publisher's Synopsis
In 1928, Louis 'Louie' McBride was born into a life of grinding poverty and little future. But 'Louie' knew from a very early age that there was more to life than merely a continuation of what had gone before. He married the love of this life, Sally, and through sheer determination and persistence, he joined the great migration to the newly industrialized North and made a good life for himself and his family in New York. On retirement, he returned to South Carolina, where he continues to live with his dear wife. In the last 90 years of his life, many things have changed but in spite of the seismic political and social changes which have taken place in the United States of America, there are still too many reminders of how things used to be. This is the inspirational life of a man whose story spans the most critical time in American history and who has now finally found the peace, respect, and love he so richly deserves.
