Just One Unbeatable Family

OUR FATHER RULED WITH AN IRON FIST He only wanted a snack or two that would most likely run him about twenty cents but the only thing was he didnt have a quarter in change. He would have to trust Maggie with a whole dollar so she would not only get that usual cautionary speech but a tad extra. She braced herself as he went on with his spiel: Alright gal now you know you better bring all my change back. Dont play on the railroad tracks. Do you know how hard I work to make this money? Its a jungle out there! You better not lose this money. Money dont grow on... All she could do was back out as she responded in kind with Yes sir..no sir..yes sir...huh sir?...I know sir... and she shot out of there like the devil himself was chasing her.This is the heartwarming tale of the Simmons family and their struggle to simply remain a strong and humble God-fearing family in the racist military town that is Fayetteville NC as told by her own words.This is Ms. Simmons first foray into the world of non-fiction writing. She still resides in her hometown of Fayetteville NC and has been retired from the local Telephone Company since 2003. She also worked as a teachers aide on Fort Bragg for ten years. She has over 30 nieces and nephews to keep her young and traveling up and down those highways.FIVE STARS!For someone who is use to reading urban fiction this book was a pleasant change. Not a single curse word spoken. Not a sex scene to be found. No drugs no violence and no killing. Believe me when I say that this is a book that you will not be able to put this book down. You will laugh cry and grow to love the Simmons family and know exactly why they are Just One Unbeatable Family. Great job Maureen! (Amazon Best Selling Author Divine Ortiz)
