Any Given Day

Jessie Lee Brown Foveaux was born in 1899, during the final days of the Old West. Her perfectly ordinary life spanned the greater part of the 20th century, from a childhood spent on a small farm in Missouri to a loss of innocence that included the deaths of her mother and her sweetheart. But Jessie Lee survived all this and more: a troubled marriage to an alcoholic, the trials of the Depression, and the challenges of raising eight children alone. In her memoir she recalls the hardships and the triumphs and sends a stirring message about what matters most in life: friends, honesty, love, and family.
