My Song of Songs by Maurice E. Smith

This book describes 58 years of my life as the son of black Salvation Army officers; and then, as a single, married, and then as a single-parent officer in The Salvation Army. The story begins with my life in Memphis, Tennessee during segregation (1948-1960); then in Washington, D.C. during the civil rights (1960-1966) movement. Finally, in Atlanta, Georgia, I began my preparation for Salvation Army officership(1966-1968). Once I was commissioned and ordained, this journey took me across the USA in various ministries and challenging assignments.
