At age 15, she was freed, and by age 20, she was married and had her first child. By age 68, she had worked numerous jobs, including cooking, cleaning, babysitting, and selling sandwiches to raise money for her church. At 114, she was the last remaining member of her family. And at 116, she learned to read. From Rita Lorraine Hubbard and rising star Oge More comes the inspirational story of Mary Walker, a woman whose long life spanned from the Civil War to the Civil Rights Movement, and who--with perseverance and dedication--proved that you're never too old to learn.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRita Lorraine Hubbard is the author of a number of nonfiction books for adults and runs the children's book review site Picture Book Depot.
