Maude / Donna Mabry / 477 pages

     This was a riveting book that had to be totally true because that many things would never be in a fiction book.  The book is a memoir of the author's grandmother of the stories and events of her life.  It is a story of personal survival of the spirit in that so much tragedy happened in Maude's early life and then more unwanted events made up much of her story. the time period is the early half of the 1900's.  Donna Mabry has been able to weave the changes in culture and morality seamlessly into the story.  It explains Maude's actions since most women today would be able to change their life more easily.
     I think this is a self-published book as there is no publisher listed.  Donna Mabry has written other books which are listed at the back.  I doubt that the fiction can compare with this compelling story.
