Books
Loretta, Roly, and Aggie B., members of the Little family, each present the vivid story of their young lives, spanning three generations. Their separate tales - beginning in a cotton field in 1927 and ending at the presidential election of 1968 - come together to create one unforgettable story of a journey from hardship to hope. Through an evocative mix of fictional first-person narratives, spoken word poems, folk myths, gospel rhythms and blues influences, 'Loretta Little Looks Back' weaves an immersive tapestry that illuminates the dignity and strength of sharecroppers in the rural South.
