In the Backwoods of Nowhere

A wonderful glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman. Alma was born in 1910 from humble beginnings in rural Davidson County, NC and raised one of nine children. She shares with us in detail what rural life was like in backwoods North Carolina through vivid descriptions of daily customs, folklores and hardships. At age twelve Alma's family moved from the backwoods to Lexington. There, Alma's life changed dramatically when in her late teens she married and became the mother of eleven children. Resilience is the word that comes to mind when describing her character. Growing up, Alma's parent's instilled in her the value of family, church and community. During the chaotic years of raising her family she never forgot her upbringing. She worked hard; always putting her family first. In times of personal need, she sought strength from the church. Alma tells her story with a warmth and enthusiasm that will leave you laughing at times and at other times holding a tissue to your eyes.
