Come Sundown: The Life and Letters of a Frontier Woman - Paperback

by Olyve Hallmark Abbott (Author)

From an award-winning author, Come Sundown conveys the story of Permelia Nickell Hawkins and her family, as they strive to make a better life in Texas. Leaving Eastern Kentucky's bad times in 1880 didn't mean they would find Texas problem-free. With Permelia's strength and faith, she didn't have a crisis she couldn't solve, or at least cope with. Through the letters in this book, questions asked in one are often answered in another. Following the storyline in the letters, along with the continuity, leaves the readers to believe they have just read a novel. Olyve Hallmark Abbott is the author of four paranormal books of legends and true stories and two novels. A graduate of Southern Methodist University, she studied at Juilliard School of Music. Her interest in writing follows a successful career in opera, musical comedy, and television. She lives in Fort Worth and types with her Maltipoo puppy asleep in her desk drawer. Reaching over her is a sure way not to get carpal tunnel.
