Description Yellow fever is ravaging the Florida frontier in 1888, killing thousands of people and destroying the dreams of thousands more.
Sally Ann and Lanier Walton are struggling to stay afloat on their ranch, what with the theft of cattle, chickens, and garden foods.
Many of the ranch hands have departed, some who will likely be killed by the epidemic.
It's a time of great panic but the family has a plan to safely guide them through the danger.
The story moves through time until 1897 and centers largely around the children of the ranch, namely Sarah, who is Sally's granddaughter.
Sarah marries at the ripe old age of 15, which she does to get away from the boy she truly loves.
The struggles in early Florida are filled with loss, hardship, betrayal, love, and happiness, but the strong family ties bring strength to each member.
About the Author Sarah A.
Younger is a native Floridian whose ancestors settled Florida in the post-Civil War period.
In researching family history, a discovery led to the fact that she is seventh generation Floridian on her grandfather's side of the family.
The stories Sarah has passed on in the novel, A Bend in the Straight and Narrow, and the sequel, Ye Who Are Weary, Come Home, were told to her by her grandmother, Granny O'Steen.
Since the stories were a mere skeleton, she filled in the gaps with historical fiction.
Much of the research done for this project was accomplished by visiting graveyards in the Bradford and Alachua County areas.
The search for Jacob Henry's and Sally's graves is ongoing.
Many of the markers revealed things not known previously in family history, such as an epidemic that killed three people in the family, including her grandfather's mother, one week after he was born.
Last names in the books have been changed, but many of the given names remain the same.
Sarah has a BA degree from Baylor University and an Education degree from the University of Southern Colorado.
She has an avid interest in history and quiltin.
