As a child, teenager, and young adult Edna didn't realize the value of the gifts God had given her. She felt she had been cheated out of everything life had to offer her, wanting to be socially compatible with the ""elite people"" even though she didn't know anything about their character. Since her daddy, Berkeley Herbert Brown, had the responsibility of taking care of his family, Edna believed he hadn't fulfilled his role as the provider because she didn't get the things she wanted as a child. One day while she was waiting in the Internal Medicine Clinic, Edna connected with a stranger who was anxious to share her heartbreaking story. The stranger's story made Edna reflect on her upbringing and the values she was taught from her father. Edna's challenges were replaced with an appreciation of the gifts God had given her through her parents, and she recalled good memories of her happy childhood and teenage life with her father and mother. She realized it wasn't about what her father had given her, but how he had taught her to have a happy life and fulfilled purpose.

Industry Reviews

“Mark beautifully captures values of compassion and humanity impressed upon her young girl’s soul. Warm Socks articulates the impact her father had in enriching her spiritual and psychological well-being while intertwining historical and biblical truths within this captivating memoir. From the perspective of a child becoming a young lady, Mark guides the reader through the powerful insights of her father, the difficult lessons of her upbringing, and the enduring faithfulness of God Almighty!”
—Jaime Elizabeth Blackmon, doctoral candidate

“Warm Socks is an inside look at how a father taught his daughter Christian values through his life examples. . . . Packed with lots of history and tradition, the book paints a beautiful picture of a family. In addition, it illustrates how having God in our lives is more important than any accomplishments we could ever obtain. This is a great book that will motivate you to do and be better!”
—Doris Brown, retired principal, Guilford County Schools, Greensboro, North Carolina

“Warm Socks is a heartwarming testimony to the power of godly parenting. It masterfully
demonstrates that biblical wisdom transcends all human limitations. Mark reveals
her parents as souls any reader would love to embrace. Her winsome tribute confirms the
reality of a beloved prayer of commendation from the United Methodist Book of Worship: ‘For that of them which lives in each of us, and for their lives that in your love will never end, we give you thanks.’”
—Mark Clark, pastor of Fairview United Methodist Church, Elon, North Carolina
