Big Daddy Percy

Haven’t we all met someone with real grit who when they got right down to the nitty gritty of it plugged away until achieving their goal? For Janet Anderson, a lot of that kind of inspiration came from Mud’ear, Big Mama, and Big Daddy Percy. The other kind came when they served farm fresh Mississippi-style buttered grits smothered with blackened catfish and new eggs from the henhouse over-easy. Like the grits, the encouragement stuck.

“Big Daddy Percy” is about goodness, a quality of being kind. It’s a heartwarming story about phenomenal folk, with irrepressible grit and resiliency of spirit. This book casts light on a certain enigmatic South during a pivotal era of history in the United States. One family effects change, while in pursuit of former President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s promise of a New Deal. It’s also a testimony, and poetry.

"Big Daddy Percy" will illuminate, intrigue, hearten, and above all, fuel the imagination of everyone who reads it. It's a story of goodwill.
