From the Publisher
Oseola McCarty retired in 1986 after washing and ironing other people's clothes for 75 years. In 1995, the 87-year-old woman gave $150,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi to establish a scholarship for African American students. Simple Wisdom for Rich Living forms a window on her large, sweet soul and reminds us that no matter how humble our own circumstances, we can always do something to help someone else.
