Down in Franklin County — Huntland, Tennessee, I so wish that in the 1960s my folks could have understood about state and National Parks and how they were for everyone. We never went anywhere to just enjoy our state, nor did any of our school mates, because no one came around to let farm folks know they could pitch a tent, play by a stream,build a campfire and have time off to play as a family. I think we would have lived a far happier life had park rangers come to the school. Gasoline was cheap then, and except for about three years, we had a car, but we cannot go back, and I shall pray that children in the farthest nooks where no one comes shall know that America has places where they can play and rest like other human beings. Thank you so much.

Barbara Everett Heintz, Author, “Pinkhoneysuckle,” Amazon, Kindle, and Create Space — Please let your book clubs know that much of this is set in rural Tennessee and Northern Alabama, and will be lives which appear to have been another century back — And you will get chills, joy, and anger from one book about hidden American History of mid-century south and the defacing of an entire society of people — One narrator, with a Prologue done by my brother. No one believes that most of this is dead on truth. Please share it, and help us to one day be recognized for the plague of suffering which was instilled especially among women and children who watched our father’s looks of alienation and shame.

Thank you. Barbara Everett Heintz
