Texas Gold
By Joyce Shaughnessy, is a tale of a young girl growing up in the TEXAS oil fields several decades ago. It is a sweet and “human” story that young people can read and dream, one where adults can smile and reminisce, and where you learn to appreciate the little things. “Joyce Shaughnessy LIVED the life in the oilfield towns of Texas and LOVED it! It was not easy back then, but then EVERYBODY was poor and they all worked together. Her story is for anyone who reads but more specifically for teenage girls who will get an idea of the reality of this era in this part of the world. People worked hard and appreciated whatever God gave them. They were honest, caring people and they helped each other. The heart-warming true life story of a young girl growing up in a poor family in a Texas oil camp in the 1940′s. You’ll laugh, cry, smile and sigh as you live along with Marcie, Cheryl and Annie.” By Joyce Shaughnessy
