Growing Up in the Colonial
Overview
Growing Up in the Colonial The Colonial Hotel was a landmark for fifty years in the southeastern Tennessee town, Copperhill. The Colonial, our family's business, housed employees of the Tennessee Copper Company, the major industry in the region. In 1940 I was born in the hotel, and I soon discovered the world surrounded by the hotel's endless stream of interesting characters. Whether it was the gluttonous sewing-machine drummer or my aunt who pulled the trigger, what I observed in my childhood fascinated, informed and sometimes frightened me. Leading me through all this were two brave women, my grandmother and my mother. "In Growing up in the Colonial , Edwin Light lovingly evokes the personalities that populated his childhood growing up in the family hotel in 1940s and 1950s in southeastern Tennessee. Family, friendships, and long-ago feuds enliven its pages. But at its heart, this memoir is a tribute to Edwin's mother and grandmother, the lessons they taught him, and the love they shared." -Sharman Esarey, Principal Editor, European Stability Mechanism
