She is the author of two other novels, both published by TCU Press: Youre an Orphan, Mollie Brown, and Billy Bardin and the Witness Tree.Product DescriptionFourteenyearold Martha Mary Overstreet only dreams of becoming a doctor until she writes an essay about women having a say in their own lives, like choosing whether or not to get married or have children and begins to realize that she can have a say in her own life. She doesnt win the DAR essay contest, but she comes to the attention of Dr. Klinefelder, the Mayfield physician.In 1888 in Mayfield, Texas, a girl lived in her parents home until she married or became a teacher. But Marty, the oldest of six children, has seen her mother exhausted by childbearing and the unpredictability of cotton farming, and Marty wont begin that life without fighting for an education and the chance to be a doctor.Dr. Klinefelder encourages her to attend a nursing school opening in Galveston, but Marty is determined not to settle for anything less than her dreamuntil Billy Washburn kisses her, and Marty feels everything inside of me tighten up and go hot. Martys life is further complicated by her relationships with her family and friendsthe people who can help her most but discourage her from leaving the people she loves.
