Love Lifted Me: The Story of Fannie Billingsley Cooley Sullivan

A mesmerizing, sometimes painful, and as oftentimes joyous account of a black woman's journey from rural Alabama/Georgia to Ohio and back again. Born into a sharecropper's family during the Depression years, motherless at age four, and starting domestic work at an early age, Fannie faced hardships abounding. Finally, in desperation, Fannie gathered her seven children and fled to Ohio after she shot and killed a man.
There her life changed forever.
