Molded from memories, sculpted from stories, this novel, Alma of Rag Town, is set in 1914-1918, in rural northwestern Louisiana―brown bayous, piney woodlands and wide-open spaces. It's early oil-boom country, with families driven by the gamble and the hope of a big strike. Rag Town was named for the canvas-and-wood tent houses of those families.
The novel is built around Alma Aldridge's humorous stories of her escapades and misadventures, as well as tearful tellings of her parents' broken dreams.
In this coming-of-age tale, a young girl faces up to the day-to-day challenges of a life in a tough place, at a tough time. As she grows more confident of her own strengths, she is drawn to a young man for his kindness to her family. At a very young age, Alma strikes out on her own, taking on risks and responsibilities far beyond her years.
