Description Supposing Books True Women

Alive and pulsating with the events of our history, TRUE WOMEN tells the story of two dynastic family lines in Texas, the Kings and the Woodses. Euphemia Texas Ashby King could ride and shoot like any man, and she was there when Sam Houston's rag-tag army routed Santa Anna at San Jacinto . . . . Though she risked her plantation running the Yankee cotton blockade during the Civil War, Georgia Virginia Lawshe Woods still had to defend her family from a corrupt Yankee officer . . . . Bettie Moss King survived wolves, storms, and the Ku Klux Klan to steer her family through the turbulent birth of modern times.
Inspired by the author's own Texas roots, here is an unforgettable saga of the grit, determination, and courage of TRUE WOMEN.
""Heartfelt . . . The hardships and adventures faced by [this] family are so movingly described that I was in tears." -- The New York Times Book Review

Crit Epithetical Books True Women

Don't let the cover fool you, this is nothing close to a romance. This is the fictionalized true story of Janice Woods Windle's Texas ancestors. Most stories of pioneering women fill you with awe at their staggering bravery, persistence and creativity, but the history of Texas gives these women more than the "average" challenges. The war with Mexico, creating your own country, particularly cruel Indians, water and terrain etc. explains a lot about the legacy of Texas independent thought. I think

reading it for the 2nd time

For some reason, I am drawn to these books of strong, pioneering women, and have found myself stuck inside one for the last few months. True Women falls into another one of my favorite types of books, those that deal with one family through the generations. Though it says it is a novel, it apparently is based upon the real-life experiences of Janice Woods Windle's family during the settlement of Texas, its fight for independence from Mexico, its short time as a republic, and its time as part of

Texas history writerLove love love this book!!!!!

Can't finish this one.



I have not seen the movie of this, but I can't imagine it being any better than the book. Janice Wood Windle is writing about her own ancestors and their every day struggles during the civil war. Her depiction of Santa Anna, Tarantula, Sam Houston, and others is excellent. You can just see in your mind's eye, the beautiful land and the not-so-beautiful battles against the American Indians and Mexicans. I have read this book four times and I would highly recommend it to any southerner or anyone
