God' Country Hazel McKeel

God's Country is Hazel J. Gurley McKeel's story of her upbringing in the Eastern North Carolina farm country, covering the time period from the late 1930's to the present. In this book you will learn how the times shaped the lives and the cultures of the people she knew, and how many of their ways remained unchanged despite the turbulent events and changes of the twentieth century. It is a story of families and their love and support for each other as they adapted, grew up, and thrived in the challenging, hearty world of a farming society. Most importantly, it is the story of the continual presence of God that made their part of the country uniquely what it was: God's country.
