Child, Never Grow Up Irene Clayton Chambers

Inside this book are stories of growing up in the TallapoosaRiver Valley, especially my youngest years before schoolwith Mama. It seemed to me nothing could ever go wrong as long as my mother was with me. So many times, Mama would share stories about her growing-up years and the lonely life and times she lived. Mama would often say, "Child, never grow up," and I've done my very best to honor that instruction. Mama had a strong faith in the Lord; she really depended on Him. She said sometimes it seemed like He was her only friend. Although she had very hard times, she enjoyed life. She left us on February 19, 1966. She was a wonderful, sweet mother to me and her family and friends.
