Dedication To my sister, Helen Marie; my brother, Alder Lee; and to our late parents, Melba and Carroll Moore for the wonderful life they gave us. Also, to the people of Cleburne County whose stories , in their soft voices, are still in my ear. Acknowledgements My abundant thanks go to the members of my writers critique group: Sue Kesler, Gary Orton, Michael Wycombe, Sarita Lopez, Rose Winters, and Marty Malin, for their friendship and patient, valuable help. Thanks also to my beta readers, Lance and Susan Burris. Much appreciation goes to the publication Time and the River, a history of Cleburne County by Evalena Berry, which was a helpful resource in anchoring my memories to places and dates.
