Product Description
Set in the hardscrabble woods of southwest Arkansas and turbulent Texas during the era of the Alamo, Shaded Honor takes us into the lives, loves and disappointments of a frontier family struggling to cope with survival, poverty and death. Through the distinct voices of Mary and Nicholas, Glenn Wigington has produced a work of fiction that has the intensity and emotion of poetry and the drama of a novel. The story is about droughts, tedious chores and loneliness, and it is told with simplicity. It is about simple people whose only goal is survival. Set in a lost period of American history, Wigington’s book displays the author’s deep-seated respect for the lives of farmers joined to the earth by love and consequence, and the harsh realities of rural life in 1835-36.
