"Right here, I'm sharing the honest-to-goodness." -Loretta. "I'm gon' reach back, and tell how it all went. I'm gon' speak on it. My way." -Roly. "I got more nerve than a bad tooth. But there's nothing bad about being bold." -Aggie B. Loretta, Roly and Aggie B., members of the Little family, each present the vivid story of their young lives, spanning three generations. Their separate stories - beginning in a cotton field in 1927 and ending at the presidential election of 1968 -- come together to create one unforgettable journey. Through an evocative mix of fictional first-person narratives, spoken-word poems, folk myths, gospel rhythms and blues influences, Loretta Little Looks Back weaves an immersive tapestry that illuminates the dignity of sharecroppers in the rural South.
