I was encouraged to write a small book of short stories after I had written a book of my early life in Tennessee. My friends and family all encouraged me to keep writing.
I would like to thank my husband, Floyd and my children, along with a very special stepson, Donald Rushing and wife, Kathy, for making this dream of mine come true.
