Enjoyed this book immensely. Tells it like it was. Our Family MILLS surely has had its ups and downs. This is just a cross section, of just one persons travel through their life, getting here from there. , And anyone who wants a little insight to family, should take the time to read through it. Researching family for many years, and wish I had come across this book sooner. Would have let a lot of light on the subject. Again, I am coming from a total different point of view than most. Very interested in where I came from and hopefully, will be very helpful to those who will come after all of us. Just an excellent read, all the way round.
