About the book
The Woman Who Lived Between the Walls is the latest publication
by Pauline M. Brown, a South Carolina poet and storyteller who writes to
communicate her compassion for people, her respect for the past, her concern
for the future, and her reverence for God.
An autobiography with allegorical overtones, The Woman Who Lived
Between the Walls recounts the many harsh and unexpected trials and
tribulations that one woman had to overcome in her thirty-year journey
toward self-understanding and self-acceptance. Mrs. Brown's religious
faith provided the support and consolation that she needed in order to
face her life with courage, and her book is a testimony to that faith.
Pauline Brown's previous works include The
Man in the Ditch, Sister Gossip Gets Married, and Lord, Can
I.
About the Author
Pauline Mixson Brown was born on January 14, 1950, in Aiken County, South
Carolina, but was reared in Barnwell with her two sisters, Carrie Mae Williams
and Carolyn Anderson, and her brother, Bobby L. Bush. She has four children:
Paula Brown, Paul Brown III, Patricia Brown Bamberg, Gabriel Brown,
and godson Elder Ronald Donaldson, St. Peterburg Florida.
In 1968, Mrs. Brown began writing love letters every day to her husband,
who was serving in the Vietnam War, and she has been writing steadily
ever since that time. She loves to write, has five hundred pen pals, and
has composed more than five hundred poems. In the thirty years since
the Vietnam War ended, she has had dozens of changes to endure and
trials to overcome. As she looks back over her life, however, she gives
God the glory for making her a strong-minded and self-sufficient woman.
Although Pauline Brown and her husband took different roads in life,
still they remained friends. According to Mrs. Brown, “Life is short, and
only God knows everything. Now I have a new life in Christ, and to God
be the glory. Thanks be to Him and to each of you.”
