"This memoir was composed after the author started having memories of events that occurred in his early lifetime, growing up in a gritty neighborhood in Depression-era Knoxville. The memories centered around his mother, Emily Merritt Madden, and her experiences dealing with poverty, a sometimes well-intentioned but never reliable husband, one son who ends up in prison and her other son, who later grows up to become one of Knoxville's greatest authors.
