Three Times a Mama

Marybeth's troubled girlhood is made more painful by the difficulties of her lifelong best friend. Circumstances outside her control leave her with guilt over something she should have done that she might not have, and when the chips were down, would she have the strength to accept what happened? Guilt creates a big rock in the road to happiness, but she finds a way around it from an unexpected source. When all other avenues are blocked, look up.

Author Joann Ellen Sisco perfectly captures the voice and soul of the southern Ozarks. People are people, no matter where they are, but the subtle culture and expression of language is unique to a place and time and no one masters this better for this distinctive section of America than Sisco.
