The Courtship of Miss Loretta Larson will be one of the books Mary Lou Cheatham plans to sign at Delight, Arkansas, on September 30. This festival is going to be so much fun!
It is 1908. Loretta
Larson has enjoyed many blessings in her life. Attractive and accomplished, she
has so much money she barely notices her salary she earns from teaching. In her
thirties, she is living in the village of Taylorsburg, a south Mississippi railroad
town. She suffers in a damaging relationship with cruel and dishonest banker.
Will she ever find the love she longs to know? An unusual woman for her time,
she is an independent, strong-minded person, who has a cloud over her past, a
quirky style in the present, and boundless hope for a joyful future. With
compassion for the down and out, she shows little regard for what others think
of her. To live her life requires courage and ingenuity. She relies on the Lord
to help her through her problems. Sometimes the help comes in unusual ways. For
example, her cat Pinkie saves her from disaster The story contains fun-filled pranks, the joy
of being alive, and outrage over social injustice.
