Beskrivelse
She lived in a circus truck for over 50 years...
Some say Rhena was a celebrity. Others saw an eccentric lady who tended goats by day and roamed the streets of Smackover by night. Which was it?
For children of all ages, this 32 page picture book, The Goat Woman of Smackover shows how one girl refused to stay crushed by her broken dreams.
Originally published in 2001, Author-illustrator Ramona Wood sketched from her own family goats when creating the scenes for this book. Ramona spoke with Rhena's former neighbors, collecting a variety of tales about the woman who crossed their paths. Weaving together a single story from the sometimes-conflicting reports had its challenges. Nonetheless, all would agree that Rhena left her mark on the community. Happily, the Goat Woman's story lives on!
