Rheba Walker's New Book "Brood" is a Detailed History of a Large Southern Family Beginning in the Early Years of the Twentieth Century
Recent release "Brood" from Page Publishing author Rheba Walker is a loving historical portrait drawn of an Arkansas farming family who left the serene Mount Judea valley for greener pastures in Texas in the early 1920s.
GAINESVILLE, Texas, April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Rheba Walker, a retired nurse, mother, and grandmother who lives with her husband near Collinsville, Texas on thirteen acres that have been in her family since 1944, has completed her book "Brood": a vivid chronicle detailing the lives of the matriarchs and patriarchs of a Texas family.
"Brood" is the true-life account of an ordinary family who left the beautiful foothills and valleys of Mt. Judea, Arkansas, (commonly referred to as "Judy" for anyone who has a link to its past) and headed south into unfamiliar territories. This new world, also known as the great state of Texas, offered more suitable farming lands and the promise of a better future. With all earthly possessions stowed in covered wagons, the adventure began.
Hope and happiness quickly turned to worry and fear as World War II dropped its uncertainties on the thresholds of homes already struggling to survive. The Heffley family was not immune to the sufferings of war. They did, however, summon the strength and determination to press on. While placing their deepest faith in God, they held tightly to each other.
Today letters from another side of the world stamped "Air Mail" that were once received with hope and fear now lie in dresser drawers, their words fading. Photos, often removed, kissed and replaced, now crinkle with age without proper care. So many stories with so many characters, run the risk of being lost forever. "Brood" believes these family memories must be preserved and passed down to our children, grandchildren, and future generations.
"Brood" is a collection of one family's most cherished memories that just might inspire readers to discover, share, and celebrate their own family's history.
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Rheba Walker's book is a thoughtful compilation of lovingly preserved family memories for current and future generations of a close-knit Texas family.
Readers who wish to experience this nostalgic can purchase "Brood" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
