Rooster Gets Last Laugh

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 01, 2008 -
Atlanta, GA- Much has been written about family. Any number of films and television programs have been made and books written covering the topic.  Happy families (The Brady Bunch), dysfunctional families (The Royal Tennenbaums) and desperate families like The Crachits of A Christmas Carol.

A new book just released this month by  AuthorHouse™  Publishing  reveals the story of a another kind of family as seen through the eyes of a talented teenage girl growing up in 1940’s San Francisco, California.  It is a family of strong women, many of whom were self-made entrepreneurs. Adversity, race relations, madness and tragedy  all play a part in this novel. But it doesn’t stop there.  The reader comes away with a new awareness about the meaning of love, happiness and of life.

The author, M. Anderson Edwards is the mother of four adult children. She is a American women of Ethiopian descent, whose family history was preserved through storytelling by its strong and determined  female  members.  The book is  entitled, “And They Laughed Like A Rooster” and is part history and part imagination.  “No one is dealt a good card all of the time! In those days, we didn‘t have TV shows like ‘Father Knows Best‘ or ‘Father Of The Bride‘ ” says Edwards from her home in Stone Mountain, GA. She goes on to say, “my story is about a family with a no good father and a dead mother! But the 2 children in the family did have their Aunts who took turns caring for them.” That’s were this story begins.  A  story that depicts a  poignant message  after all is said and done.  And that message is, in the words of the author, “just goes to show you, nothing is impossible.”

The book, “And They Laughed Like A Rooster” is available at http://rooster.pinurl.com, http://www.Amazon.com,  as wells as the publisher website http://www.authorhouse.com
