Homer: A Tornado Wrapped in Barbed Wire chronicles the hardships
Homer Eubanks and many others faced during the first half of the
20th Century, poverty, World War I, the Spanish Flu that killed
more than fifty million people worldwide, the Dust Bowl, the Great
Depression, and World War II, a time that ran over the weak and
produced a generation of strong, tough, battle-scarred folks who
dealt with more adversity than anyone deserved in one lifetime.Born
in 1908 in Hamilton, Texas, Homer was a sharecropper's son whose
journey started with no money, an eighth-grade education, eight
siblings who loved him, and an inner strength that served him well
in the face of huge challenges and moments of danger. As much
history as biography, HOMER A Tornado Wrapped in Barbed Wire,
reveals a time when families pooled their meager assets, blood,
sweat, and tears to help each other cope with economic stress and
other angry circumstances that fought to hold them in the darkness
as they strained to reach the light. People relied on the
kindnesses and help of others as they clawed their ways in the
direction of respectability and a modicum of success.
