Description
Lorene Scurlock was born to strict Southern Baptist parents on a small farm in North Texas, married a bookish state auditor and became a multi-millionaire in the Texas oil boom. She saw it all, from the Depression to 9/11 and she imparted her wisdom to me, her Ivy League-educated grandson, in a series of twangy idioms that managed to express her life’s tragedies and triumphs. Having realized that I learned more from her than my very expensive education(s), I’ve decided to tell the stories behind the idioms and then go a step further by investigating the scientific basis (or lack thereof) of Grammy’s sayings. Hopefully you’ll learn as much reading this book as I have writing it.
