Till We Meet Again

By Roy W. Penny

One hot summer noon in the 1890's, a skinny young girl in a long, dingy dress came limping barefooted up a mountain road that straggled westward out of the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas. In her right hand she dragged a long willow switch, and her left hand carried a sunflower blossom on a short stem.For years Mattie had dreamed of becoming a schoolteacher like her Aunt Sis. Yet now she was leaving the safety of the Ozark Mountains for the Oklahoma Territory. She was only thirteen years old! Her father's dream was to settle his family on 160 acres of free government land, but when they arrive, they discover all of the available land has been taken. Mattie and her family have to scramble to survive. Amidst the hardships of picking cotton and the struggles of a territory becoming a state, Mattie grows up finding love and her place in a changing world.
