Life Is So Good by George Dawson
An uplifting memoir told in plain, direct voice about a man who, after a lifetime of hard work in the segregated South, learns to read at age ninety-eight and looks back on a century of experiences—childhood chores and schooling that was denied, the steady rhythms of family, faith, and labor, encounters with racism and change, and the small everyday joys that sustained him. The narrative mixes vivid anecdotes with quiet wisdom, showing how literacy late in life opens new worlds while reinforcing a persistent optimism and gratitude for life’s simple blessings.
