Hard to believe that a woman wrote a book, however simple and short, in less than 2 hours. She added ghat it was published as is, the first draft, with only 2 added punctuation mark changes and interted a short paragraph. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG! I can't seem to finish this book about a kid playing in the jail, enjoying the prisoners her dad had incarcerated, and her mom, who cooked 3 meals a day for the family and prisoners. Her food kept the jailed guys returning every fall for a stay through the holidays. Three months in jail seemed to be the standard sentence for "drunk and disorderly" charges. I'm in the process of adding an insert of Mom's recipes of comfort food filled with butter, fat and Cream of Mushroom soup. Naturally, jello was the standard salad or a wedge of iceberg lettuce with a 1/2 peach topped with a dab of Miracle Whip and a cherry. Colorful, it truly was...and sooooooo yummy!
So how did this woman get her tiny book published? Guess I need to do some soul-searching and get back to work on this story of my growing up behind bars!
