This would Never have been in my grandma's hobo!

Revisado: 09-05-06

For those of you that don't know what a hobo is, it is the green garbage can on wheels that we folks in South Georgia roll out to the street once a week for the city workers to collect our trash out of.
20 years ago we were at my Grandmothers enjoying a family cookout. My husband and I carried some trash outside to the "hobo" and on top of the garbage bags lay a hard back book that looked brand new. We figured that she had thrown the book away in error. When we carried the book back into the house and gave it to her explaining - she gasped and said, "No - No, I meant to throw that away. I ordered that book not knowing what it was about and it wasn't good. In fact it was bad and about wrong things. I don't want you children finding bad books like that when I'm gone and you have to clean out my house! Please go put it back in the hobo!"
We always laugh when we retell that story. If my grandmother was still alive, this book would have been on her bedside table.
Warning: the contents of this book will affect you. Be ready to be moved. It will scare you. It will make you nervous. It will warm your heart at times and make you cry. The characters are real and you will feel as though you know them personally. John Aubrey Anderson nailed this book. I've never read the doctrine of the things of life & the things before and after life,ever written so wonderfully in a secular book. No, my grandmother wouldn't have ever thrown this book in her hobo. She'd have had it known herself and made it known to all of us. Thank you Mr. Anderson for the work I know you went through in writing this book. Now, will you please do me a favor and finish the next ones? I will be waiting... Oh yeah - Readers, do yourself a favor and go check out this book at the library, at the store, on line, whatever, just read the book!
