Have you had periods in your life when everything seemed to be going right, the future looked rosy, you were prosperous and happiness seemed to saturate your whole being? Did it seem as though you were in the spring of life with a promising future when suddenly some destructive force thrust sorrow and despair upon you and every flourishing sprig of hope was crushed by life's Blackberry Winter? How can any woman lose the most important person to her and still have a meaningful, happy life? Mattie Posey struggles to achieve this and out of desperation agrees to marry an older man, who she admittedly does not love. Grief has dominated her life for the past eight years and she has finally made the decision to marry John Mayo in spite of the fact that she can never give her heart to anyone. He is very understanding, but eventually wearies of trying to compete with a dead man for Mattie's affection. BLACKBERRY WINTER continues the true-life story of the Author's grandparents who were first introduced to you in her book, LEAVE ME WHERE I LIE. Actual events have been fictionalized to create an intriguing story while it still accurately records the course of the lives of Mattie Parilee Posey Mayo and her family. You will anxiously follow the romance of Wade Posey who falls in love with a beautiful woman from Ireland and makes plans to marry her in spite of the objections of his children. He is devastated when he learns facts about her that he must consider before asking her to marry him. You will share the joys of Mattie and her family as they thrive in the Roaring Twenties and will also feel their pain as they endure the hardships of The Great Depression of the early thirties and the deaths of some of the people closest to them.
