CITY GIRL - THE EARLY YEARS is a collection of human interest columns written for the Rains County Leader in Emory, Texas. The author writes about her struggles to adjust to living in the country after spending most of her life in more metropolitan surroundings. Her columns cover a variety of topics from gardening to faith and everything in between, and they vary in tone from serious to ridiculous. One reader commented that "she can write about nothing and make it interesting." Her musings will make you laugh, cry, and sometimes scratch your head, but you will never be bored.
