Cotton Field of Dreams: a Memoir is an American
story—in black and white; a poignant memoir by the former
diarist to President William Jefferson Clinton who shares
her journey from the cotton fields of the Arkansas delta, to
the West Wing of the White House. It is an American story
featuring the pre-civil rights south where cotton was king
and education was the carrot that stayed just out of reach
for many blacks. Cotton Field of Dreams, a lesson in southern and women’s
history, paints a vivid picture of roles played out by the
women, children and family in the Arkansas delta. It is
about the hard lessons children of cotton sharecroppers
learned from under-educated but wise parents whose greatest
gift was their children’s permission to dream. This story
memorializes James and Ethel Kearney who taught their 17
children that nothing was too far out of reach if they put
their minds and hearts into it. Their story is about the
miracle of the south, and the limitless vision, the
unflinching faith, and daring dreams of a poor, black family
on Varner Road.
