Blocks of Faith
by Mary Margaret Wade Moore

Blocks of Faith is a charming, poignant memoir of a native African-American daughter growing up in the early 20th century South. The work chronicles her humble beginnings; migration to the North as a single, young woman, and her final return to her roots in the 21st century South. The author offers readers an educational and entertaining journey of human struggle, achievement, and triumphexperiences that only faith could make endurable and possible. Highlighting themes relating to identity, self-determination, and love, Moore posits faith as a means toward achieving a degree of peace and comprehension of ones life journey.

Written with warmth and honesty, Blocks of Faith contains both sad and hilarious true tales. Each entertaining chapter will inspire readers to think twice about the role of family, community, and faith in building ones life.
