About this ebook
With Dignity captures the spirit of the time and life of the American farmer's in the early 1900's, and those who inhabited the rural Southern Ozark Mountains.
With Dignity portrays with historic accuracy two fictionally poor, but proud families. It describes how these families coped with death, adultery, rape, murder and the great personal loss, that shatters their otherwise peaceful world.
Matt Hawkins stubbornness refused him the ability to compromise and his pride does not leave room for reason.
Lowe Beckett is caught between his own grief and the struggle to help his wife, who is not coping well, with her own horrific loss.
Caught in the middle of the strong southern codes of behavior, a young couple's love and ideal life will soon collapse.
With Dignity is not your typical love story. This family saga intertwined with dramatic and tragic events that include murder, rape, death, suicide, adultery, mental illness and great personal loss, all while maintaining their dignity, love and devotion for one another.
