Mayhayley Lancaster was many things through her interesting life: lawyer, schoolteacher, political activist, fortune teller, numbers runner, and self-proclaimed "oracle of the ages." In this new volume of creative nonfiction, the people who knew her reflect on her personality, her politics, and her passions, offering the reader a chance to delve fully into Mayhayley lore and legend. Oracle offers strange and often hilarious stories of the poor Georgia South in the post-Depression era, and how the eccentric Mayhayley's charisma and mysterious powers cast a spell on all the people who knew--and inevitably misunderstood--her. Dot Moore has been working on this book for more than twenty years, spurred on by her own memories and encounters with the late Mayhayley Lancaster while she was growing up in Heard County, Georgia. She is a retired educator and Democratic Party activist, and lives in Montgomery. This is her first book Used Book in Good Condition
