Book Cover & Preview Text
Ginge's weekly morning routine changed significantly. After Hap left for work, she had about a half an hour before she had to wake up her eight kids. She took this opportunity to read her Bible and pray. She could be heard praying for her children. Speaking their names out loud and praying a specific prayer for each one. When she was finished praying, she stood at the bottom of the stairs and gave out her daily wakeup call, "Get up, get up, get up! Today's the day they give babies away with a half a pound of tea."
