Fiction often begins with a thread of truth. So it is with No Tattletales, based on a real pioneer family, this book is embroidered with stitches of fiction. No Tattletales is sewn together as carefully as a patchwork quilt.
Nine-year-old Mary Jane cares for her two sisters after her mother’s death. A near-tragic event prompts their father to remarry. The stepmother, whose eyebrows remind the girls of a skunk, moves into the James’ home with her four unruly children, and conflicts arise. Mary Jane quietly endures a burdensome task of keeping the ‘no tattletales’ rule. She draws strength and courage from remembering her mother’s teachings. May the spirit of her endurance in facing the obstacles and challenges of her young years, inspire those who read her story.
