Synopsis
This novella is a followup to the novel, Madam May: A tale of madams, morphine, moonshine and murder. It picks up around 1911 and tells the story of the love of May's life, takes her through the fears of WWI, the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, Federal prohibition, the roaring twenties, the Great Depression, and family turmoil with two more husbands and children. She and her family cope with WWII and the immense changes in Atlanta throughout the mid-1950s. As usual, May's actions are somewhat questionable but regardless, we want her and her family to overcome the obstacles set before them.
À propos de l?auteur
Janet Hogan Chapman aka GeorgiaJanet About GeorgiaJanet I was born, raised, and lived all my life in Georgia. Growing up in Atlanta in the 1960s could be wonderful, traumatic, exhilarating, and frightening. It was all of those things for me at some point or another. I am a writer, a summer girl, a dog lover, and a tree hugger. I am a self proclaimed bohemian Southern Belle and my mission is to empower strong women through the written word. Just what is a bohemian Southern Belle? Check out the blog post at http://www.georgiajanet.com/?p=2225 to find out! I have worn many hats in my life, but through it all I have been a writer. I have published professionally on historical topics, infant education, preschool ministry, elementary education, and teacher education. I have several writing projects in the works. You can read my essays, poetry, blog posts, and other information on my website, www.georgiajanet.com. My interest in genealogy has led to the discovery of family stories that are rich with potential literary endeavors. Between those stories and my life experiences I have enough material to continue writing for decades! I have published one novel. Madam May, a Tale of Madams, Morphine, Moonshine, and Murder, is based on true events in the life of my paternal grandmother. I have also published one focused memoir. This Teacher Talks, What Really Goes on in America’s Schools, that describes the events that take place over a school year among the faculty and staff of an elementary school. Both are available on Amazon.com. I live just outside Atlanta with my husband, and my pet Yorkie Jazz. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, my children and grandchildren. My interests include travel, reading, genealogy, and the outdoors. I have faced difficulties in life at times, but God in his infinite mercy, as well as family and friends have seen me through.
