Product Description Fig newtons of the imagination and of memory abound in this marvelous collection of twentytwo stories by Texas women. Fig newtons such as the magical moment when a dying grandmother teaches Sue Ellen to dance, the red shoes Tammy the Tupperware Princess dons in New Orleans, the yellow thread needed to put Sue Tidwells quilt together, or weekends of escape and sisterhood spent in El Pasos McCoy Hotel.The stories chosen hereand introduced and placed in their historical and literary context by editors Sylvia Ann Grider and Lou Halsell Rodenbergertogether weave a story of their own: the story of womens writing in the Lone Star State. From 1865, when a prescient science fiction work was serialized in the Galveston newspaper, until the present, women have written of a different Texas than the stereotypical Wild West of mens writing. Beverly Lowry, Carolyn Osborn, Annette Sanford, Denise Chavez, Katherine Anne Porter, Judy Alter, Joyce Gibson Roach, and others have told a range of stories that capture the range of circumstances, feelings, and experiences Texas women have known and lived.As Susan Wiltshire Ford writes in The Quilt, any grief was bearable if you could tell a story about it or make a story out of it. Texas women have borne grief and laughter, hope and memory by telling a story. Lets hear it. Review "Lula wondered if the Halloween alps boys had been a mirage, a fig newton of her imagination, as she and her brothers had called it in their youth."
