Livin' in High Cotton

Cultured and feisty, Shelby Collins is the epitome of a southern lady. She tries to prove her competence by looking after her siblings while her mother is away caring for an ailing relative. Shelby’s secure world is turned upside down when her father, in a drunken rage, attacks her. Fearing others will learn of his treachery, he kidnaps her, takes her to a reform school, and abandons her. In utter despair, Shelby is sure that her life is over, but sometimes life’s blessings come in the most unexpected ways.

Set against the rich tapestry of the South during the late 1920’s and early ‘30’s, and inspired by the life of Sandra's grandmother. Livin’ in High Cotton is a celebration of life and traditional family values. It is a story of love, betrayal, and the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity. It is about a young girl, growing up, who realizes that life is full of second chances, and that it’s never too late to learn how to live.

 “A compelling story of family loyalty, love, loss, and strength, as warm and fertile as the rich red clay of a Georgia field. The inspiring, hardscrabble lives of Depression-era southerners make for a vivid story of love and forgiveness.” Deborah Smith, New York Times bestselling author of A Place To Call Home.
