As the saying goes, everyone has a story. Wisdom from Willie, Jewels from Jessie is a heartwarming memoir that shares fourteen life lessons anyone can learn from and build on. Willie and Jessie candidly share their early years, growing up in the South during the Civil Rights era with no modern conveniences, to the present day, retired and enjoying the many years of their labor.
 
Growing up in tight-knit families who instilled in them hard work and determination, this book explores how their upbringing set a path for their life. While building a modest life together, Willie and Jessie not only made strides and accomplishments in their work life but contributed to family and community, which included homeownership, finances, union work, volunteering, gardening, and traveling.
 
Willie and Jessie hope that once you read the book, you will be inspired to do what you desire. At the age of eighty-five and seventy-nine, they have become published authors, proving that age does not matter in the scheme of things. All that matters is your willingness to lead a fulfilling life.
