Growing up in a small Southern town, Alisha Erickson believed her family was like any other. However, somewhere between barefoot summer days in the grass and her Dad's cutoff overalls she began to realize just how unique her life truly was. Overalls & Wisdom: A Memoir of Unconventional Life Lessons is a tribute to the kind of upbringing that doesn't make headlines but leaves a lifelong imprint. Through a collection of candid and personal stories, this memoir reflects on the wisdom passed down through unconventional lessons from her dad, an overalls-wearing soft-hearted mechanic and her mom, the steady force that held it all together. There were no lectures or Pinterest-worthy life mottos on their fridge, instead there were fishing trips, turnip green harvests, and cans filled with coins. Her parents didn't talk about values; they lived them through chores, jokes, Saturday projects, and dinner-table disagreements that always ended in love. These moments both chaotic and quiet, taught resilience, humility, generosity, decency, and what it really meant to show up for others, especially those you love. This book is a mosaic of lived experiences that reveal how the deepest truths often come from unexpected places. From lawnmower rides to navigating difficult conversations with grace, each chapter offers a story, a lesson, and a reminder that wisdom can show up with grease-stained hands and cutoff overalls. For anyone who's ever found meaning in the mess, love in the ordinary, or wondered if they're getting this life thing right-this book is for you.
