Ross Davidson’s book is based on the story of his precarious life growing
up in privation. His daily struggles created indelible memories.
This is a strange, highly unusual and complex story of a boy born into
poverty during the Great Depression. The surprising marriage of a poor
immigrant woman to a wealthy American lasted two years. Nellie, seven
months pregnant, moved to a neighbor’s home. The continuing story has
odd twists and turns. Throughout, no child support was ever received, despite
court orders. The author changed the names and locations.
It is the chronology of the haves and have-nots, an encyclopedia of life lessons
woven through a small rural American community. In academics, athletics,
student activities and jobs, the boy had good times and bad, but not without
periods of anxiety. He learned, however, to use fear as a stimulant; where
hard work, discipline, commitment, perseverance and an attitude of never
giving up became part of his philosophy.
The gravity and sadness of it all were overridden by love, care and support
– the mother who died prematurely, the son who applied the lessons learned
in his life.
The author and his wife live in the Northeast and have children and
grandchildren.
