Something About Me and My Book:
I was born in Douglas, GA to parents who farmed. My father was a violent alcoholic, and domestic violence was a regular activity at our house. I was raised like the generation before me; therefore, I am knowledgable about the culture and customs or the era. I was raped at 17, became pregnant, had the baby, and married when my baby was about 6 months old. My husband was very physically abusvie. I went to college, obtained my masters degree in counseling.
My book, "The Secrets of the Wisteria Vine", is about a dysfunctional family in the 20s and 30s in rural south Georgia.The young girl in the family uses the protection of the wisteria vine to hide and talk about the secrets of the family. She first has an imaginary friend, then a real friend, and as she gets older, she talks to God. Some of the customs of that era are preserved in the book. There are stories of love, hate, loyalty, friendship, brutality, strength, racism, and religious beliefs. All of this is sprinkled with a little humor.

Welcome Tommaline. I, too, am writing a memoir, so it's very nice for me to welcome a fellow author in my genre.  All the best for your book and you will find John Kremer's forums and groups very informative and helpful.

Carole
