From Lisa-Behrens Smith, two-time Santa Barbara Writers Conference section winner and Edith Pillsbury Creative Writing Scholarship recipient, is Mulberry Seeds, A Novella. It's Texas in 1968, and young Jolene is watching her family lose everything: work, her house, her neighborhood friends, even the money they need to buy food. There's no charity, just selling things one by one, days spent cleaning houses and babysitting, and the never-ending moves. Her father has gone silent, her mother is angry, and little sister Corrine doesn't understand yet what is happening. Not even their mother's relatives can help enough to hold things together.

While their parents and their lives fall around them, the sisters become each other's worlds. They find joy in new friends, love from relatives that haven't forgotten them, and a new strength in each other.

But is Jolene's hope enough to get them through the coming heartbreak?
