- The Trilogy of Wishbone Hollow Historical Fiction - Everyone Thought Thirteen Would DO NO GOOD The trilogy of WISHBONE HOLLOW is an inspiring story of an unlikely heroine from a small rural community in Arkansas. The American Red Cross was preparing for war in 1916 and 1917 when America and England were trying to make it go away, and Germany was forging ahead. In the midst of this uncertainty, a young and determined Arkansas girl, smitten with the desire to be a certified nurse-and bolstered by a praying grandpa, unusual (and unconventional) bravery, and almost certainly an overworked angelic guardian-begins a journey that shapes the future for her, the folk of Wishbone Hollow, and many souls across the Atlantic. Turns Out Thirteen Did Good for Everyone Last Born: A Novel of Historical Fiction (Book 1 of the Trilogy of Wishbone Hollow) The people of Wishbone Hollow shook their collective heads. No good would come of that one, for everyone knew that thirteen was an unlucky number... especially for a Moffat who was related to the Hopkins. But "everyone" didn't include Granddad Hopkins, actually the retired Rev. Irvin Hopkins, Rowenna's maternal Grandfather. He started praying right then and there for Rowenna and never stopped. Good thing, too, for it seemed the Good Lord had added in more than a dash of fierceness and stubbornness along with all those smarts. This meticulously researched historical fiction novel was inspired by true historical events surrounding the Great War. Many historical endnotes and references are included.

Autorenporträt
Joann was born in 1933 in the Arkansas mountains during the Great Depression, into the family of a pioneer minister. Fascinated with pencils and paper from an early age, she developed a love for reading and storytelling. Encouraged by her older sister, who aspired to be a teacher, Joann learned to read early, with her first book being an ABC book. Her limited access to books only fueled her imagination, leading her to create her own stories and rhymes.Growing up attending church regularly due to her father's ministry, Joann was exposed to many people and the values of hard-working settlers in the Midwest. These experiences deeply influenced her writing. Her work reflects the lives and attitudes of her childhood, enriched with imagination. She gravitated toward historical fiction, particularly stories from around 1900, inspired by her grandmother's tales and her own memories of a bygone era.
