Cotton and Smoke

Way more stories are coming soon.

Collection 1 Early 1900s
     One day Katie is doffing spindles and wearing bows in her hair. The next, she is walking through the northeast Georgia woods as a newlywed girl. She and her young husband encounter trials they never expected.

Collection 2 1940s
    We meet Edna Lee as a young girl encountering desperate situations, then follow her into courtship and marriage and motherhood.

Collection 3 1960s to Early 2000s
    The last generation of women in this series is Mary Anne, husband of 1, mother of 3. Short stories follow her from her childhood in the 60s, through early years of marriage, then the unexpected ending in 2014. Mary Anne's stories begin in Georgia and end in California.

 Collection 3 undated stories
    These are stories about other people who belong to the same world as the people in Cotton and Smoke. These are people I'd like you to meet but who don't fit into the timeline.
