Rachel

About the Book

Rachel’s journey from Chipola Roads, the rural community in northwest Florida where she was born in the mid-ninteen-twenties, was so much further than the few miles it took to arrive in the small town where the highschool was located Her naïve approach to life was a result of her plain-spoken, down to earth poor farm family’s upbringing, where life’s rules came mostly from their understanding of the Good Book as handed down to them.

About the Author

Abbye Ayers Faurot was born in the Florida Panhandle in 1924.  Her parents were schoolteachers in rural schools most of her childhood and she grew up believing that learning was one of life’s greatest offerings.  She retired from the State of Florida in 1989 and has spent most of the past 16 years gardening, painting, and recently writing as her eyes will not permit the first two activities any more.  Not being able to read, drive, or sew, she turned to writing as an outlet for her imagination.  This is the second of two novels to be published, after completion of a family cookbook and a family history of the Faurot family.
