We are happy to announce Sharecropper's Dream has been republished! Everything about publishing is difficult and time-consuming for an old person who didn't grow up with computers (I'm speaking of myself, not Uncle Roy!).
The original version of Sharecropper's Dream, published in 2014 (I can't believe it has been that long!), is available at the following link to Westbow Press:
Original Sharecropper's Dream
The revised version is available on Amazon:
I opted to republish the book with Amazon so I could purchase any number of copies at a better rate than I could from Westbow Press. While reformatting, I discovered some typos (!), and grammar and spelling issues (!) in the original which I gladly corrected. I also added a conclusion regarding Uncle Roy's passing.
I contemplated adding back in the chapter which Uncle Roy nixed, but decided to honor his wishes, and just include it here on the blog instead. That's not technically in the book, right?
If you enjoy reading Sharecropper's Dream, please leave a review on Amazon. Reviews sell books, and we want Uncle Roy's story to reach as many people as possible! I enjoy sharing his memoirs with those who never had the opportunity to meet such an incredible man. It is somehow comforting to know the book allows him and his story to "live on," even though, for Uncle Roy, the harvest has been gathered, and he is reaping the rewards of his labors.
