Willie Jewel Peterson, was born on January 17, 1935 in Greenville, Alabama. She was one of 14 children and lived on a farm with her mother, Elnora Dunklin, and father, Clate Crenshaw. Her parents were poor farmers, but they worked hard and demanded that their children worked hard as well. Willie was not given the opportunity to go to school past the 6th grade, as her father required her help on the farm. Although she often spoke of having a very hard life, not having much money or food, there was never any sign of bitterness or resentment. She received one new dress and a pair of shoes each year. If the shoes became too worn thenher father would string them together with wire.Meals were very skimpy and usually consisted ofmilk, cornbread and syrup and perhaps a piece of crow, rabbit or raccoon.
What Mama Said is all about Mama's favorie sayings, her favorite songs and her favorite recipes.
What Mama Said edition by Gladys Seedorf Cookbooks Food Wine eBooks
How many times have you heard a parent admonishing a child or giving him or her advice, and said to yourself, "that's just what Mama said"; or, if you are a parent, heard yourself using the same phrases that your mother used and said to yourself, "I sound just like my mother!" Not surprising, since mothers are the first teachers, and give their children their first lessons in human relations, finance, and conflict resolution.In her recently published book, Gladys Seedorf pays tribute to her mother, Willie Jewel Petersons, who was originally from Greenville, Alabama, but, migrated to Albion, Michigan after living briefly in Panama City, Florida, and Cambridge, Maryland. Although she had little formal education, she never went past the 6th grade, Ms. Peterson was industrious, and had, what we would call today, several "revenue streams". In addition to her job as a housekeeper in a local hospital, she was also a seamstress, baker, and, along with her husband, owned several properties. She also had a garden and canned vegetables.
Seedorf shares with us some of her mother's sayings with which many Baby Boomers are familiar having grown up with them, too. Who has not heard, "God don't love ugly", "treat people like you want to be treated", or "to be in the hose before it gets dark", regardless of the region of the country in which they lived. My personal favorite is, "ain't nobody better than you, and you ain't no better than anybody else, neither". I particularly like this one because it can serve as an inspiration for children who may be bullied or have a low self-concept
In addition to sharing her mother's favorite sayings, she also shares some of her favorite hymns, and recipes, just in time for the holidays.
By the end of the book, you feel as if you know Ms. Peterson, or at least have had a glimpse into her soul and that of many other Black woman who overcame adversity with hard work and a deep, abiding faith.

What Mama Said edition by Gladys Seedorf Cookbooks Food Wine eBooks Reviews
Excellent book! Gladys introduces us to mama; and her love for her is felt, as she remembers the things that her mama said, and shares them with us! The beauty of this relationship is heart- warming; and even the work that Ms. Seedorf does is a testament of the beautiful person that she is inside. Looks like mama had a great impact on her life. Wonderful story, it makes me think of the matriarch in my life, and the things that she said. I even talk like her myself, to my own kids. Thank you for sharing Ms. Seedorf. This book is a must-have for everyone!!

What Mama Said is a delightful read and words to live by and eat for good living. Gladys, your tribute to your mother in this book is a gift your mother will treasure as will those who read it. Keep writing and telling your story.
A good read
The memories just kept pouring out as my Mama defended me or had Dad whip me depending on how things went at school. She also told me, “Eddie, you are no better than anyone else, and nobody is any better than you. You remember that.” I do, Mama. And thank you, Gladys, for all those memories.
