    About this ebook

    A native of Nowata Co, OK, msbev grew up near the Verdigris River in Nowata County, OK. She attended a one room country school part of her elementary years. Having researched family history for 40+ years, she knew the true stories about real people would be lost if someone did not write them. She listened as her Pioneer~Blacksmith father and her mysterious mother gave her rare glimpses into their lives. Her father even kept his name a secret. msbev did not know his complete given name until after he passed away. Now msbev knew what was behind the looks she remembered seeing pass between her mom and dad, especially if they were disagreeing! She talks with them, listens, and loves them as though they were sitting beside her. She says their conversations are better than when they were alive, because she know them so much better now. Volume 1 includes several of these stories, but not the entire collection.

    Beverly Brown Hart

    MSBEV, a native of Nowata, OK, grew up near the Verdigris River in a house built before statehood. She attended a one room country school part of her elementary years. She listened as her father, who was born in Indian Territory would tell an occasional story. Her mother, much more reluctant to share, has proven to be the inspiration for some of the stories. Mother was born and raised in beautiful Newton County, Arkansas. Msbev began writing stories some 40 years ago while her parents were living. Stories of the family comprise many (but not all) of her Stories from the Heart. True stories about real people are most interesting and should not be lost. How are we to know the road ahead unless we know where we have been. Msbev owned and operated a tax preparation business for 20+ years. She is semi-retired; continues to work from her home office. Widowed after 48 years of marriage, she volunteers at her church and has learned that living alone is not synonymous with “lonely”. Msbev agrees with Old Testament Patriot. King David, who wrote in Psalm 23 “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want....” Whether sharing her stories by writing or storytelling, You soon realize this is not a job. This is Life. Please sit back and enjoy whether listening to a story or reading one.
