CORDOVA, Tenn., April 26, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hannah Horch, a passionate educator and founding program advisor for the Newcomer International Center in Memphis, Tennessee, has completed her book "Enchanting Beauties": a story of remarkable perseverance, courage, and compassion during one of the most painful chapters of American history.
"Enchanting Beauties" is the captivating tale of young photographer Henryetta Dixon and her sheer will to survive the Great Depression. The daughter of the wealthy Thomas and Lucille Dixon, Henryetta believes her family is untouchable—that is, until her father uncharacteristically commits suicide, leaving them penniless. Her mother, catatonic with grief, and her brother, a shiftless alcoholic, leave Henryetta to be the sole caretaker and provider. Despite her precarious situation, Henryetta acts generously when she takes in an abandoned mother, her two small children, and the occasional drifters.
To keep food on the table, Henryetta pawns her family's possessions one by one, but in doing so, she uncovers the scandalous truth about her father's secret business dealings—ones that if discovered have the power to either save or destroy the Dixons. Times grow even more desperate as the Depression lingers, forcing Henryetta to do the unthinkable. Posing as her father in order to rekindle his business proves to be lucrative, but when her arch nemesis catches her, things go very wrong.
Armed with only her camera, a little money, and her father's pistol, Henryetta takes to riding the rails to escape her fate. With the help of hobo Gus, will Henryetta find the inner strength to return home to face unknown consequences? Is redemption within her grasp?
Inspired by the true stories and photographs of real men, women, and children of the Great Depression, "Enchanting Beauties" is a modern American classic that draws in readers with its universal themes of the human experience.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Hannah Horch's book is a powerful story of grace and redemption in Depression-era Tennessee.
