by Jeanne Estelle Saddler (Author)
As a young girl, Thelma Osborne Richardson witnessed the hopes and hardships of the Great Migration, when her family left the rural south for Detroit in 1929. In The Great Triumph - A Memoir of Courage and Devotion, her daughter, journalist Jeanne Estelle Saddler, brings to life a moving family story shaped by perseverance, pride, and the pursuit of a better life. In her debut memoir, Saddler draws from her mother's vivid memories, stories rich with humor, heartbreak, and quiet resilience, to paint an unforgettable portrait of a woman who faced the weight of history with grace and grit. From Jim Crow to the civil rights movement to the election of Barack Obama, The Great Triumph traces the arc of a century through one extraordinary life.
