| Publisher Description: This is a story based on true events surrounding the life and times of Elizabeth Jane Jones Davis, known to many as Madea. This story tells of the struggles of the black man living down on the countryside of southern Alabama during the 1950s and 1960s, refusing to depend solely on the privileges allowed by some white landowners. When the black man failed to meet the demands of some white men, the acts of slavery were reignited all over again. This was an act that some white men seemed to remember, and the black man refused to be a slave again. Sharecropper's Story is not only about sharing the crops and farming the white man's land on demand, it is also about sharing love and compassion with others. As Madea would say, "Jesus wants his people to share." |
