The Last Sharecropper

Myrtle Hight met Fred Jones when she was only a little girl, but from the first time she saw him, she sensed he was something special. Distance and matchmaking might try to interfere with an inevitable and life-long romance, but some loves are destined to withstand the terrible tests of time. Dry land farming on the high plains of northern New Mexico never made anyone wealthy, but the Jones clan is more than rich. Strong, honest, funny, and resilient—one small family reveals secrets about living on and from the land which have been all but lost in the modern age. “The Last Sharecropper depicts a no-frills, hard working life…happy times and sorrows. It is an intimate day-by-day journey with a family during the Dust Bowl…It is a living history and will be a family legacy for generations.” --Barbara Corn Patterson, author The Woman on the Table and Other Stories
