But it wasn't just the boys who had a story to tell: from matriarch Annie, who gave birth to 13 children, to daughters Margaret and Eunice, who married up and out, each had a personality as indomitable as the last.Then came Shirley Read, who was just 17 when she fell in love with Keith, one of the Hudson lads. To Shirley, the only child of affluent parents, the poverty of the unruly estate was as exciting as it was mysterious; newspapers for tablecloths, jam jars for cups, and, even by that time, no electricity. But it was a friendship forged with Annie and June, the younger Hudson sisters, that would teach Shirley not only to how to survive, Canterbury-style, but would also give her the strength to overcome an unexpected personal tragedy that would soon become a nightmare for women across the world...Eye-opening and warm, this is the vivid account of the 'Tucker' girls; the resourceful women at the helm of a notorious Bradford family who will never be forgotten.My Mam Shirley 942.817082092Shaw Julie1449955Millea JimothAUDIO9910148927603321My Mam Shirley (Tales of the Notorious Hudson Family, Book 3)3648710UNINA04104nam 2200481 450 991081908660332120200520144314.01-61117-930-0(CKB)4100000007186915(OCoLC)1037884303(MdBmJHUP)muse68779(Au-PeEL)EBL5606504(OCoLC)1078569745(MiAaPQ)EBC5606504(EXLCZ)99410000000718691520190104d2019 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierUnderstanding Jim Grimsley /David DeutschColumbia, South Carolina :The University of South Carolina Press,[2019]©20191 online resource (153 pages)Understanding contemporary American literature1-61117-929-7 Understanding Jim Grimsley -- The Tote-Crell Narratives -- Dream Boy -- Cities and Suburbs -- Fantasy and Science Fiction."In Understanding Jim Grimsley, David Deutsch offers the first book-length study of Grimsley's diverse work and argues for his vital role in shaping the contemporary queer American literary scene.
