My grandmothers really did raise chickens, make quilts, and milk their own cows. One always wore a bonnet to protect her skin from the harsh Texas sun.After marrying, my husband and I moved with his job from Texas to New Mexico to Wyoming. When it came time to retire, we chose our native Texas. A few years ago, I visited a cemetery where my grandmother’s older brother, older sister and mother are buried. I knew growing up that they had all died in a short period of time when my grandmother was quite young, but it had never occurred to me how devastating and life changing that had to have been. Before I realized it, the idea of Ella Langston came to life.Crossing Stover Creek is my first novel and the first book set in the fictional towns of Stover and Stover Springs.view less
