is a good one for children. Osceola was the daughter of a sharecropper, and her father's father was a slave. Osceola tells her story through journaling, of her life growing up. She was born in Waskom, Texas in 1909, and she grew up in that segregated town. She grew up Baptist, and she soon realized that everyone she knew was afraid of white people. Because of this, she grew up afraid of white people--even the mailman. Osceola grew up learning songs <u class="showmore_hide">and poems of his culture's history. She grew up very poor, and she lost her mother when she was only ten years old. After starting school, Osceola began to write a recite poems at school. She married a man named Clarence Mays, and they were married a month shy of fifty years when he passed away. Osceola regretted ending her poetry career early because she believed she could have gotten much better had she continued.</u><span class="showmore_showlink">… (<a href="#" onclick="showMore('u_26c617b5');">more</a>)</span></div class="" ><span id="rate-u_677638a1" title="3 Stars" aria-title="3 Stars" class="rating rating-style-306 " data-fn="ratingWidget_fromSettingsA" ><span class="rw"><input type="hidden" value="6" name="form_rating" id="form_rating"/></span><i data-rating_value="2" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="4" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="5" class="fas fa-star selected" ></i><i data-rating_value="8" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i><i data-rating_value="10" class=" fas fa-star empty" ></i></span></div><div id="rfd_150541833" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_150541833"> </span> </span><span class="reviewFlags"><div id="reviewflags_given_150541833" class="reviewflags_given hideme">Flagged<span id="rfi1_150541833" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as not a review" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_notreview"></i></span><span id="rfi2_150541833" class="hideme" > <i title="Flagged as abuse" class="fas fa-flag-alt reviewflags_abuse"></i></span></span></div><span id="rfrf_150541833"> </span></span></span> <span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/syd_neylol" target="_top">syd_neylol</a> | <a href="/work/1305038/reviews" data-workid="1305038" data-title="Osceola-Memories-of-a-Sharecroppers-Daughter" class="" >2 other reviews</a> | Jan 24, 2018 | <a href="/review/150541833"><i class="fas fa-link"></i></a></span> </div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_148675600" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/7805228" data-workid="7805228" data-title="Texas-Blues-The-Rise-of-a-Contemporary-Sound-John-and-Robin-Dickson-Series-in-Texas-Music-sponsored-by-the-Center-for-Texas" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/158544605X.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/158544605X.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/158544605X.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"><div class="postinfo"><a href="/work/7805228" data-workid="7805228" data-title="Texas-Blues-The-Rise-of-a-Contemporary-Sound-John-and-Robin-Dickson-Series-in-Texas-Music-sponsored-by-the-Center-for-Texas" class="" >Texas Blues: The Rise of a Contemporary Sound (John…</a> by <a href="/author/govenaralanb">Alan B.
