Out Of The Midst Linda L Taylor

Doretha Muncie, a "young" senior citizen from rural Georgia, gazed at the three women who were sitting a few pews ahead of hers in Unity Baptist Church. She had ensconced herself in their lives and they came to rely on her for her strength and wisdom. Muncie, as she is called, thought of these women as her 'fam'bly' and more specifically, her 'dopted dawters'. In the midst of their tumultuous lives, Muncie had swooped in and rescued them from a cheating husband, an abusive boyfriend, and in the case of one 'dawter', her self-destructive self. As they continue to navigate life's hurdles, Muncie once again becomes the advisor, the prophet, and the rescuer - in her own take-no-prisoners style.
