Books written by Maxine Sue Feller, mother of author R.A. Feller. There are many things that are picked up through family generations by the osmosis of the atmosphere in every home situation. I’m sharing my mother’s books, Maxine Sue Feller, who is also an author for this reason. This will allow you to see the difference between where I came from in my home and what happened after I found God upon leaving.
