The story of Amanda Thomas’s life is the harsh reality of what life can be; not for everyone; but for some folks.
The author explains in depth the full life story of Amanda from a young age to the grave. It explains the humane side of her and her lack of academic qualities; and her strict but loving father who wouldn’t give up on her education; until he learnt the hard truth that she had no brain for it.
The story of her in England with her two cousins; and facing up to the harsh reality that now she’s away from the protection of her father. Her life there was sometimes humorous, sometimes alarming; with the harsh reality of racism which she had never before experienced.
Her marriage, which turns out to be a bad one; probably helped send her to her grave. But her faith in the almighty held her in good stead; her life was an example to her fellow Christians and many others.
