"Fig newtons" of the imagination and memory abound in this collection of twenty-two stories by Texas women: the magical moment when a dying grandmother teaches Sue Ellen to dance; the red shoes Tammy the Tupperware Princess dons in New Orleans; weekends of escape and sisterhood spent in El Paso's McCoy Hotel. The stories chosen here--and introduced and placed in historical and literary context by Sylvia Ann Grider and Lou Halsell Rodenberger--weave a story of their own: the story of women's writing in the Lone Star State, from 1865 to the present. Authors include Beverly Lowry, Carolyn Osborn, Annette Sanford, Denise Chavez, Katherine Anne Porter, Judy Alter, Joyce Gibson Roach, and fifteen others. As Susan Ford Wiltshire writes in "The Quilt," "any grief was bearable if you could tell a story about it or make a story of out it." Texas women have borne grief and laughter, hope and memory by telling a story.
