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?. The story of Betty Jean's family will
continue in a sequel, Growing Up at Mound Grove; a special place
where neighbors? lives are intertwined for generations.
