These Kaleidoscope Hills: A Collection of Short Stories

Imagine belonging to a family of eleven children… Lonnie Moulder knows exactly what it’s like. He and his family lived close to the banks of the Big Niangua River. Here, Lonnie trapped, fished, and farmed while his wife, Myrtle, cared for their eleven children. Forced to sell his home in 1929 to make way for the construction of the Lake of the Ozarks, they left the beloved river and relocated to a small farm south of Macks Creek, Missouri. Author L.L. Bartell takes you back in time, spanning the early 1900s through 1940s, with these colorful stories taken from the memories of the eight amazing Moulder girls.
