Spencer, WI, January 13, 2023 --(PR.com)-- Gerald Lynn Smith has completed his new audiobook, “The Mayor's Boy”: a compelling autobiography that takes readers through his interesting life journey.
The book follows Smith’s experience growing up in rural West Virginia, emerging from “the holler,” and joining the U.S. Air Force. After his discharge, Smith earned a master’s degree in social work and became a counselor. He then traveled overseas after a divorce. He later returned to the United States, eventually remarried, and settled in Wisconsin.
Smith writes, “Ma didn’t tell us why she hated Pappy’s father, but she considered ol’ Peachbutter to be the devil incarnate. My brothers wondered if he had tried to put the moves on her. With an olive complexion and dark hair—what folks called Black Irish—she was physically beautiful. She often quoted a rhyme: 'Beauty’s only skin-deep, ugly’s to the bone. Beauty soon fades away, ugly holds its own.' I never knew why she said that.”
