Ben J Cox was born in a sawmill camp on a dirt street in Waldron, Arkansas in 1943. When his mother abandoned the family in 1953 and his dad was unable to work and properly care for the children, the author, his brother and two sisters were placed in an orphanage in Monticello, Arkansas. In his book, To Mama, The Long Road Home, the author attempts to reason with all that has happened and struggles to reap the best from a lifetime of both gaiety and sorrow until his mother dies in 1998.
