HALF BROKE HORSES
by Jeannette Wells
Monday, April 26 10:00am
A true-life novel about Lily Casey Smith (the author’s grandmother) who at age six helped her father break horses, at age fifteen left home to teach in a frontier town, and later as a wife and mother runs a vast ranch in Arizona.
She survived tornadoes, droughts, floods, the Great Depression, and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy–but despite a life of hardscrabble drudgery still remains a woman of indomitable spirit.

THE CROWNING GLORY of CALLA LILY PONDER
by Rebecca Wells
Monday, March 22 10:00AM
“In the small river town of La Luna, Calla Lily enjoys a blissful childhood under the loving light of the Moon Lady, the feminine force that will guide her throughout her life. From her mother, M’Dear, Calla learns the old, womanly art of healing through “fixing hair.” On the same river banks, Calla tastes the sweetness of first love. But when a broken heart knocks the breath out of her, Calla transforms hurt into inspiration and heads for the wild and colorful city of New Orleans to study at L’Academie de Beaute de Crescent. In that extravagant big river city, she comes to understand fully the power of her “healing hands” to change lives and soothe pain, including her own.” (courtesty of Barnes & Noble)
A tale of family and friendship, tragedy and triumph, loss and love, The Crowning Glory of Calla Lily Ponder features the warmth, humor, soul, and wonder that have made Wells one of today’s most cherished writers, and gives us an unforgettable new heroine to treasure.
