When the crippling Civil War ended, Fury returned to the land of his family’s plantation, Glory. Only his brother’s young son Clay had survived, amidst the ashes and memories. Their westward travels brought them to the Wet Walkers and new friendships that became family and the creation of a new beginning in Kentucky.
… people were swarmin’ like bees, carryin’ logs to be sliced, hookin’ up pull sleds, changin’ into groups that were startin’ to carry them on to different spots. Some were headin’ for the lower pasture and others to the barn to be built. A group was layin’ boards out for the storage area. Another was startin’ on the foundation for a new house. Others were checkin’ papers and layin’ out all the Wet Walker cabins. Menfolk were talkin’ about all the plans and how when everything was completed, then and only then, could they start on the meetin’, school, and bizness house.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
Mary Smith started her life in Kansas City, Missouri, on July 12 1930. It was the beginning of the Great Depression. Her young mother Mary died in childbirth at age 25. Two of her siblings promised her that the little girl would be loved, cared for and given any and every opportunity available. Their word was gold. They took her to their homes in ‘Tornado Alley’, between Texhoma, Texas and Liberal, Kansas, on the Oklahoma Panhandle. It was the Dustbowl. Bleak, terrifying, and a killing field.Mary tells us:My life has been full of love, remarkable living examples and the world (in that time period) was my oyster! My imagination and talents were encouraged and trained. So, my life’s quilt, like Joseph’s coat, is beautiful. It consists of the many colors and fabrics of this world from the most humble to the finest. I have been greatly blessed and want to share with each of you, the wonder of true goodness. Though my characters are fictional, I know and love every one of them. They are us-at our worst and at our best. Walk with me-and the Wet Walkers. Mary now lives in an independent living facility in California and is completing the circle of growing old and joyfully embracing God’s gift to her heart. Her companions are two beloved Puli dogs who are precious souls and look mixed up with their dreadlocks… But don’t we all? She is already at work on two more Wet Walker volumes.
