The author was a janitor who only wrote his book because he lost his job. He had a degree in English. He was African American. That is all I can remember. I rarely watch Oprah but I remember this man and can't get his story out of my head.
If you can help me I would appreciate it. I doubt I have given you enough to go on. Believe me I googled it first!

I think it was called "Eddy and the magic mop!" by Eddie Jackson. Old Oprah and Eddie had a real nice time just chatting about the book and sweet potato pie ( God do I love sweet potato pie!!! I think it's how they really make pumpkin pie; they use sweet potato. ) and the audience smiled an awful lot too; especially when sweet potato pie was mentioned! I hope Oprah runs for President one day, I like Her style! I never miss an episode unless I've something worthwhile to do. Good Old Eddie Jackson and that crazy mop, what marvelous adventures they had together.

How long ago was it on Oprah? Non-fiction?
