"Little Girl In The Back Seat" by Gladys James

---

If you are a child, or if you have children in your life, this book is for you! Life can be tough and even a good life has its challenges. Little Girl in the Back Seat follows a child as she navigates her world. She is faced with decisions and challenges just like adults. The author demonstrates through experience, that childhood decisions can also have lasting consequences. Children laugh, they love, and they often suffer in silence because no one has questioned them to the point of invading their privacy. James lays her private childhood moments open for examination and discussion. She invites you to explore new levels of relationships with the young and the young at heart. This multi-generational work is a refreshing look at relationships with people and with God. While children may have the same experiences and feelings as adults, what they don’t have are solutions. These they get from the adults in their lives, and from the God who loves them enough to stop, listen, and intervene.

This book chronicles the life and activities of Poopie. She is a little girl desperately trying to make sense of the people and events in her life. Together, with the other four girls in her house, she grabs life by the tail. As she navigates her neighborhood and the people that share her experiences, the reader gets a front row seat into her childhood antics, and the delights of being young. Gladys James’ delightful depiction of a life now extinct, brings explosive memories for some and gained insight to others. Her adventures can be enjoyed by Baby Boomers, Gen. X, Millennials, Gen. Z, Gen. Alpha and beyond!
