A Lady Of Grace, Genius, And Grit

Mrs. Evelyn Guile is a centenarian to get to know. The vicissitudes of her journey can instruct us all, leaving an indelible imprint on us becoming better life navigators. This memoir illuminates the major events in a remarkable lady's life during the turbulent years of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. She came from humble beginnings in Florence, South Carolina, on February 11, 1918, during the last year of World War I. With singular focus and drive, she survived the wars, the Depression, and the Jim Crow South. She embraced life with wisdom, love, compassion, and laughter, and along with her husband, Earl, raised a family with a strong focus on education, excellence, ethics, and achievement. During her 100-year odyssey, she accomplished much in the realm of civil rights and was a well-regarded seamstress, a teacher, a global traveler, and, foremost, a visual artist. This memoir reveals her secrets to longevity and other vital tips on lifestyle design. Mrs. Evelyn Guile illuminates our national heritage and articulates an optimistic vision for the future as well as a deep penetrating knowledge of the past and the battles for equal rights in America. Ultimately, we return to family, for there is where Mrs. Guile gave her full measure of devotion and felt her sincerest gratitude. A Lady of Grace, Genius, and Grit tells her compelling story to the world.
