 Road to Mound Grove 

...a memoir, tells the story of Betty Jean’s family in rural southeastern Oklahoma during the Great Depression. In challenging times, they move from one house to another along Indian Road until they stumble on a home of their very own.  A quiet little girl, Betty Jean attempts to do the right thing, but accidentally discovers trouble. 

Betty Jean’s family and neighbors lack electricity, running water and indoor bathrooms. A typical coal oil lamp glows in every home and water is routinely drawn from a well. She attends school at Mound Grove where Miss Vergie and Miss Agnes teach eight grades in two rooms.  Although her daddy works from daylight until nearly dark, with President Roosevelt’s WPA, building roads and bridges, her family barely makes ends meet. In spite of the harsh conditions, Betty Jean has a life filled with love, laughter and singing…a life where she learns to make ‘somethin’ out of nothin’.

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.
