Overview

"In Georgia Bell Floyd Kennedy's intriguing memoir, So Many Blessings Along The Way, she shared how her older sister Pearl decided to raise her along with her brother June and her dwarfed and crippled younger sister Fannie Ann - along with her own children - after the loss of their parents. Pearl's decision to enroll Georgia in school had a life-changing impact on her and Fannie Ann's life. Georgia taught Fannie Ann to read, and a whole new world unfolded for the family from that one selfless act. One newspaper article written about Fannie Ann in 1957 entitled ""God Sorta Made Up To Fannie Ann With Bright Mind For Crippled Body"" shared Fannie's determination to beat the odds academically despite her physical limitations. That one article literally changed Georgia's family's lives forever. Readers will be intrigued by the family legacy as it unfolds in an interesting narrative throughout the pages, enhanced by amazing photos of Georgia's beautiful family and special friends. The story is based in York, South Carolina and in Charlotte, North Carolina. Georgia is retired from a rewarding and successful career as a babysitter, cook, waitress, caterer, custodian and domestic worker. She is a proud mother, grandmother and godmother to many children. Georgia and her daughters currently reside in Charlotte."
