Freddie Mae Baxter’s hard life hasn’t embittered this 75-year-old grandmother’s humanity or outlook. The Seventh Child is the moving and sagacious story of the author’s experiences growing up, working and living in the 20th-century U. S. Her tale begins with her birth into poverty, working the cotton field, factory and as matron for privileged white children on Manhattan’s East Side, all the time inspiring readers as well as enthralling them with unquenchable faith and innate warmth and goodness. | The Seventh Child by Freddie Mae Baxter, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
