Eugie

Eugie is a south Arkansas girl of the 1950’s whose life, until October of her fourteenth year, revolved around family, friends, school, church, and soda jerking at her Dad’s drug store. Then three knee-buckling, eye-popping, nerve-rattling experiences invaded her world, forever changing her perception on a variety of topics. As her Grandmother Harris would say, “Katy, bar the door. All hell done broke lose.” The first few pages follow.

Chapter One

Suzie and Robert: The Dog Who Adopted a Postman

In their first collaboration, Mary Magee and Jeanette Hooks, author and artist,
create a picture book for all ages. The story is based on the lives of Suzie, a rescue
dog, and Robert D. Ross, a postal carrier, from Gurdon, Arkansas. The book is due out
in late Spring of 2011. The first two pages follow.

At first I was an orphan.
I had no mom or dad.
I didn’t even have a name.
Myself was all I had.
