The Cotton Queen
by Pamela MorsiTHE ROAD AWAY FROM HOME ALWAYS SEEMS TO LEAD BACK TO OUR MOTHERSI am not, nor will I ever be, the kind of woman who wears pearls with her apron while cooking meat loaf for her husband.

I couldn't wait to leave home and get away from her. But now, well-let's just say life hasn't turned out quite as I'd planned. And heaven help me, I'm going home.Laney Hoffman-Cotton Queen, 1975It's funny-all I ever wanted was to teach my daughter, Laney, how to be a lady so she could find a good husband and take her rightful place in our community.

Thank heavens I'm here to help pick up the pieces.Babs Hoffman-Cotton Queen First Runner-Up, 1956
