This story could have been my grandmother...who has always been my hero. Facing a lifetime of what seemed to be hardship and adversity, the spirit of the Lord and the true meaning of life shine through. My grandmother raised 5 children through the depression with no husband by her side. She supported them with a meager sewing business, and yes, the children also worked in and outside of the home for the benefit of the family. My father has shared so many fun and entertaining childhood stories with us from the "good ole days", yet there were many nights they went to bed cold and hungry.  Yet, I never heard a cross word or complaint come out of her mouth. She would accept no government assistance. She had all she needed and in my childhood days I often witnessed her GIVING to those she considered less fortunate!!!! when in my eyes she, materially had nothing.  
I see Ruby Lee's story as the story of my grandmother, Hattie Lee....and the really amazing thing is they were both from Eastman, GA! What an inspiration for those of us today!  ~Jana T.
 

I just finished reading your wonderful book about your dear Mom.  I want to thank you for sharing about a life that was filled with such great love and sacrifice.  I know that whoever reads this book will see the sweet love of Jesus in your Mom for her family.  I also wanted to thank you for being such a wonderful daughter.  Your care and love for your Mom was such a blessing to me!  Again, thank you for your inspiration and obedience to share your life and the life of your family in such an open, caring way. ~ Pastor Steve M.

"A heart-warming story that will put you on a rollercoaster ride of emotion. You will experience all the good times and not-so-good times as her family struggles through turmoil. This book is a great read and well worth the time and effort. You will come away from it with a better understanding of what a family can really be when you stick together." ~Daniel S.

"This is a wonderful book. Once I started reading it I couldn't put it down. Everyone should read this book. I plan on putting it in our Church Library." ~Jean B.

"I came home from work, with your book tucked under my arm. I laid down my purse and papers from work and sat down in my recliner and began to read your family's history.  It soon became time to go to bed, so I got myself ready and continued to read in the bed, (which isn't uncommon) I read into the wee hours of the morning. When I woke up this morning, I turned the light on by my bed and finished the book before I got up.  Thank you for sharing your Mother's story with all of us. What an inspiring "Love Story". What a testimony to the Lord's mercy and grace poured out to a woman who was willing to receive it. I was asking the Lord today on my way to work to reveal to me all the areas in my life where I haven't been willing to receive His grace. I know He will show me and I truly want to be a woman who can have the same testimony for the Lord that your Mother did.  May God continue to bless you and thank you again for sharing your life story.  P.S. My Mother began devouring your book this morning. He Lives, ~Cynthia L.
