Featured at Delight Music Fest Booksigning: Travelers in Painted Wagons on Cohay Creek

Travelers in Painted Wagons on Cohay Creek is a novel about Jeremy, a young boy in Mississippi a little more than a hundred years ago. His mother was dying of cancer, and his father was harsh. Jeremy survived by clinging to his friends, but he didn't get to see them often. At a low point in his existence, a Romani (Gypsy) showed up and offered to help the boy's father in the blacksmith shop in payment for moving his clan onto Cohay Creek for a season.

The young boy learned from his friend Walthere, the Traveler, how to assist in the blacksmith shop, how to laugh, and most importantly how to forgive. A lover of books from the school library and a  naturally curious student, the boy learned about the history of the Gypsies.

Meanwhile the adults all around him lived, loved, and fought without restraint.

Mary Lou Cheatham and Sarah Walker Gorrell collaborated to write this unique novel. Mary will be signing it at the Delight Music Fest Super Signing, September 30, 2017, in Delight, Arkansas.
