Leaving the Homeplace: Tales Beyond the Levee
In Leaving the Home Place--Tales Beyond the Levee, author Mary Sue "Shy" Anton narrates her life story that began in the tiny Mississippi River town of New Madrid, Missouri. Mary Sue (Shy), the third of ten children, was born in a tenant house during the Great Depression and later moved to Kansas City, Missouri, where she met the love of her life, David Anton. Together they had many adventures across the country before settling in the suburbs of Houston, Texas, where David set up shop as a family physician and they would raise three children. Now in her nineties, Mary Sue looks back on a life well-lived, reflecting on her early years in small town America in the 1930s, through World War II and Korea, the turbulent Sixties, the Space Age, to the twenty-first century, surviving The Great Flood of 1937 and five hurricanes during that time. At its core, Leaving the Home Place is one woman's story of growing up, moving out, and raising a family, and readers of all ages will appreciate the light-hearted stories that reflect Mary Sue's steadfast faith in God and never failing love of family.
