Let Me Tell You What Mama Said Terri Lyons

A cozy compilation of tableside chats between mother and daughter of times gone by when full bellies and empty pockets were considered a blessing. Terri recounts stories from the old folks about the end of the Civil War, finding a way out of bondage and finally owning land. She captures her mother's memory of The Depression and surviving WWII. Her great-grandmother, Luella, laid the foundation and left a legacy of love, pain, hard work and a strong spirit. Terri's mother, Hazel, moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during WWII and finds more hard times and her love...her husband and music. Terri is currently working on the sequel that takes her parents from the Chitlin Circuit to the grand ballrooms all over the Delaware Valley.
