Reseña del libro "Ma Thicket: The Story of Ethel Osborn Hill (en Inglés)"
As far back as anyone can remember, East Texas folktales and legends have told the stories of a particularly rugged and beautiful area of forest. That land is called the Big Thicket, and one woman is known for acting as its most valuable advocate-one who dedicated her life to telling others about this pristine piece of wildlife, while encouraging children and adults alike to take time to enjoy the beauty of God's nature. That woman? Ethel Osborn Hill, who, through the legacy of her work, is still teaching others to stop and smell the roses. After a long and productive life of more than on hundred years, she will be remembered as a positive and inspirational driving force in Texas history-and through Ma Thicket, her story is told to completion for the very first time. In addition to tales of Hill's life in the Big Thicket, this fascinating biography also contains myriad extras that contribute to relating the life of this extraordinary mother, wife, speaker, poet, and naturalist. Readers will find personal accounts, photographs, and a complete collection of poetry, as well as newspaper articles that have provided details on her life and work throughout the years.
