ES2163 Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Juanita Daniel Zachry is the author of 11 books and hundreds of articles and stories in national and regional publications. She has taught writing in Abilene, Texas for many years and participates in workshops all over the Big Country region of Texas. As a child of The Great Depression era, Mrs. Zachry knows the life that “Katy O’Neil” lived. This book reveals a clear picture of how people lived during The Great Depression. It shows how they helped each other and how it strengthened them. “I lived this history,” Mrs. Zachry said. “I know cotton farming well. These are my people.” “Katy O’Neil” learned early in life what it meant to fight for the things that she deemed important. Her story touches on the availability of a quality education in rural America, The Great Depression, deteriorating family financial status, looming homestead foreclosure, a father who was set in his ways, and a young boy who while at first glance seemed aloof and arrogant would turn out to be the love of her life. This story is historical fiction. While based in fact, none of the characters are real. Mrs. Zachry lives in Abilene where she has spent many years writing about country life. BookWire
