"I know as sure as I'm sitting on this chair that God has his hand on me before I was ever born There were eleven children in our family. I was my mother's ninth child. One day my mother woke up, she smelled the coffee boiling and got sick to her stomach. She ran outside onto the back porch and vomitted green. My father was gone; he was gone most of the time. My older sister, Chloe, who was about nineteen then, was making cornmeal mush in a big pan, stirring it with a wooden spoon. Mother said"" Chloe, I'm preganant. I'm not going to have this baby. You know what I'm going to do? The woman down the road had a miscarriage. She fell down. I'm going to go upstairs and jump out of the window. "My sister dropped the spoon into the pan."Mother, you're going to kill yourself."" --Publisher
