Bodark Creek
Bodark Creek is a small, former mill town, north of Dallas and close to the Oklahoma border. Starting in 1908, Addy Bronner Braden spends most of her very long life there, surrounded by her large, close family. She loves them, leads them, and depends on them.
There is one gay person in this book – my husband. That makes sense, since the book is based on one half of his family tree. But he only turns up at the very end and as a visitor. And that about defines the relationship between gay people and this part of his family.
The book is also fiction because, although we know roughly where people were and approximately when, most of the details of their lives have been lost. A couple of story fragments have survived, but even those are built up on here. And there's a lot of the voices of Harper Lee, Lillian Hellman, and Truman Capote.
This will publish on Fridays, for the next year. As usual, enjoy.
