Vivian Gibson grew up in Mill Creek Valley, a segregated working-class neighborhood of St. Louis that was razed in 1959 to build a highway, an act of racism disguised under urban renewal as “progress.” The three rooms of her childhood home were heated by a wood-burning stove; her family had no hot water or furnace, but what Gibson lacked in material comforts she made up for in imagination. A moving memoir of family life at a time very different from the present, The Last Children of Mill Creek chronicles the everyday lived experiences of Gibson’s large family -- her seven siblings, her crafty, college-educated mother, and her hard-working father -- and the friends, shop owners, church ladies, teachers, and others who made Mill Creek into a warm, tight-knit African-American community. In Gibson’s words, “This memoir is about survival, as told from the viewpoint of a watchful young girl -- a collection of decidedly universal stories that chronicle the extraordinary lives of ordinary people.”

At this time of writing, The Mobi The Last Children of Mill Creek has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

I enjoyed this book so much and realized that even though we both grew up in St. Louis, we had very different experiences based on our different race and socio-economic status. I learned about living with rats, which made my recent encounters with mice in my house feel insignificant. I learned we both liked to cut out Betsy McCall's paper dolls from McCall's magazine each month. I enjoyed remembering when paperboys delivered the newspapers and when we played outside until dark. I applaud the author's drive to achieve her outstanding success as a writer. We need more of this type of writing to bring together an understanding of each other in this divisive world we live in; we have more in common than we think.
