Item Description
Married to Sinis a first person account of a rural family's poverty and dysfunction. The children in the family experience hunger, neglect, and incest. RDLN Leader Meredith McGee worked with her co-author Darlene Collier to tape record the oral history and edit the material into this 171 page book. As the jacket states "Collier’s ‘tell all’ memoir leaves readers speechless... [Her] story reache[s] back to slavery and its aftermath and resumes in the mid-twentieth century detailing decades of family dysfunction and abuse." Some churches in the area are using the book as a basis for discussion of the troubling issues involved. Ms. McGee also runs her own enterprise, Typing Solutions & Etc. and is a partner in a family business Heirsskymall.com. She has established her own publishing company, Meredith, Etc. She is also head of her family investment company.
Meredith has written a biography of her uncle James Meredith, which was published by Praeger: James Meredith: Warrior and the America that Created Him.
As an RDLN Leader and recipient of a Billie Jean Young Scholarship, Ms McGee earned her master's degree from Antioch University.
