During a recent book tour, Joseph met one of our contributors to our book Ribbons and Roses.Elsie McKey Overstreet was raised in Lavaca County near the Navidad River, the youngest of 8 children. She graduated head of her class in Vocational Nursing from Del Mar College in Corpus Christi, Texas—now retired. She is a mother to one daughter, grandmother to one granddaughter and great-grandmother to two girls and four boys. Her writing comes from a “burning in her heart,” and she has a great love for animals.
Her Red and Green Tissue Paper story about her childhood Christmases will warm your heart. In addition, you will find her Tribute to Edna a must to read. You will see why Joseph and I have decided to donate a portion from sales to the homeless and hurting.
Look for more stories by Elsie in our forthcoming book Rockin Chair Cowboys.
