BRIDGE FROM TROUBLEING WATERS/MEMIORS OF LUDY GILMORE. IS ABOUT A EX-SLAVE WHO WENT THROUGH TROUBLEING TIMES, HARD TIMES. WHO WENT ON TO BECOMING WELL DO-DO, OWNING HER OWN EATERY. HER BUSINESS BEING HANDED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. BUT SHE NEVER FAILED TO RECOGNIZE AND HAVE FAITH IN GOD. WHO BELIEVED IN THE POWER OF PRAYER. AND HELD ON TO GOD'S UNCHANGEING HAND THROUGH THE LONG BITTER STRUGGLE. EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING AROUND HER WAS DISTURBING AND WHEN SHE ENDURED IT TO THE END SHE WAS AWARDED DOUBLE FOR HER TROUBLES.
