Though black, her family was gifted and she grew up not among house servants or sharecroppers but among artisans and professionals. <br>In LEMON SWAMP, she looks back on this all-but-forgotten community of friends and family, and on the wider social landscape of the segregationist South of her youth.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Mamie Garvin Fields is a Charleston, South Carolina native, where her great-uncle J.B. Middleton built his home more than 100 years ago.
