Meager Begginings

Annie Bell Coomer was born in 1942 in a small eat Texas town in a tent with a dirt floor. Her mother picked blackberries, barefooted, on the day she was born. At six she saw her first toilet. Meager beginnings is a story about Annie Bell and her family's life in Lindale, Texas, and on the road traveling across Texas as migrant seasonal farm workers. This is the story of a mother's love for her children and for a husband who tries his best to destroy the family.

The story is about six brothers and four sisters' love for on another and for their mother. It is about a love/hate relationship with their daddy. Love wins out in the end. Meager Beginnings is humorous; it is sad, and it is true.
