But he worked hard; loved life, laughter, family, and God; and set an example of integrity for his eleven children.His son James, who taught himself to read and write though he attended school only a few months, wrote Uncle Big Bud as a tribute to the father he idolized. The novel is based on the inspiring true story of a family's journey from slavery to self-determination in three generations.This tale of a family overcoming great obstacles, standing up for what is right, and sharing a special love will resonate with readers, whether their own ancestors were slaves, slaveowners, or neither.
