Lovable Courageous Callie This memoir spotlights Callie during her early years living in the country. She lives through a severe illness. As she grows older, she marries a handsome man who decides he wants to farm for a living. Living in the depression years brought about many challenges to this young couple. They have seven children in fifteen years. Callie finds herself alone at the age of thirty six. How will she make a living for herself and her children? Relatives and friends are convinced she cannot take care of seven children living in the backwoods of Alabama so they want her to give some of the children away. As she experiences the situations in her family, she becomes more determined that she will make it. Crises such as illnesses, snake bite, a gun shot wound, a burn and polio strengthens her resolve and dependence on her loving and caring God.
