OUR FATHER RULED WITH AN IRON FIST He only wanted a snack or two that would most likely run him about twenty cents, but the only thing was, he didn't have a quarter in change. He would have to trust Maggie with a whole dollar, so she would not only get that usual cautionary speech but a tad extra. She braced herself as he went on with his spiel: "Alright, gal, now you know you better bring all my change back. Don't play on the railroad tracks. Do you know how hard I work to make this money? It's a jungle out there! You better not lose this money. Money don't grow on…" All she could do was back out, as she responded in kind with, "Yes sir..no sir..yes sir…huh, sir?...I know sir…" and she shot out of there like the devil himself was chasing her.This is the heartwarming tale of the Simmons family and their struggle to simply remain a strong and humble God-fearing family in the racist military town that is Fayetteville, NC as told by her own words.This is Ms. Simmons' first foray into the world of non-fiction writing. She still resides in her hometown of Fayetteville, NC and has been retired from the local Telephone Company since 2003. She also worked as a teacher's aide on Fort Bragg for ten years.
