The Story of Briar is a historical fiction that is a spectacular coming-of-age story. This brutal story takes place in rural East Texas and focuses on historical accuracy for that era in history. In the closing days of Briar's life, she tells the story of her life to her only living relative, her grandson, Russell. A history of Russell's family is told, which he never saw coming. These revelations recount the poverty of Briar's family when they were young. The criticism she faced as being a Tom Boy. The hardships of the Great Depression, an approaching war, a rough life growing up on a farm, and family tragedies all encompass the life of Briar. All gravitating to a place comfortable for Briar, her family land where the creek runs through the pines along the trail by their house. That is her refuge. It is the Story of Briar.
