Let me Singing is much more than a "legacy of memories" of life in America and, especially, in a Florida beach town from 1935 to the present. It is a beautiful vision of a life of joy and faith. The book begins where author Sally Wright Bayles' first book, the historical memoir Good Bones, leaves off. Good Bones traces the migration of the author's family southward from Virginia in the post civil war days, and describes in delicious detail the life of her pioneering family along Florida's central East Coast. Let Me Be Singing continues the tale with the author being born at home on Coronado Beach on Florida's central Atlantic coast. It continues with the life of a little girl who enjoyed a loving, carefree childhood, and only after she became an adult came to realize she was, and is, the recipient of the Good Bones of generations of forebears. Her life has been full and blessed with a loving husband and three wonderful children. Ron Bayles, the author's co-adventurer, says, "My Sally softly and amusingly guides the reader to discover that special inner song. ..." Let Me Be Singing is full of the music of a life well lived. The stories sing with the love of God and family!
