Summary of Life Is So Good
In Life Is So Good, George Dawson shares his wisdom and knowledge about survival, joy, people, and the hidden beauty of growing old. Now 101, Dawson has witnessed a century of change. Born in Marshall, Texas, in 1898, he was eight years old when he first left home to live and work on a white family's farm. But from his warm and loving parents Dawson took with him a positive outlook, based on focusing on how much they had rather than how little, the wise observance of others, and common sense. This book captures Dawson's personality, voice, philosophy, and amazing life story. Throughout this story, Life Is So Good shows us as well the history of America itself as seen through his eyes - segregation and race relations in the South, the World Wars, the invention of the automobile and the airplane, the desegregation of baseball, and other historic events. Life Is So Good is an inspiring story for generations to come.Authors Books
