A fifth-grade school teacher in southern Illinois, Develyn Worrell's nightmare begins one summer when she discovers her husband's infidelity. She divorces him without ever telling her twenty-one-year-old daughter why. Although Devvy has a heart change and desires for reconciliation, he dies before she can tell him of her desire. The daughter blames her mother for her father's death. Memories of a Dirt Road Town begins the story the following summer. Brokenhearted about her husband's death and her daughter's decision not to come home for the summer, Devvy decides to find a little dirt road town in Wyoming where she had vacationed as a child. She remembers fondly the sunset and a beautiful Roan horse. Upon arrival, Devvy purchases a Roan mare and a burro, rents a little cabin, and watches as God brings three very important men into her life.

Echoes of the Past: My Dirt Road Diary is a collection of short stories and blurbs about my life. Some are straight up shenanigans, others are purely nostalgic-and then there's a few that come straight from my soul. These are stories that, long after I'm gone, I'd like my family and friends to remember. And maybe just as importantly, they will be a gift to myself one day when my mind gets tired. One of my goals in sharing my stories is to help prompt memories in you to share your own. You never know who'd love to hear them. I'm a fun loving gal who can find humor in almost anything, and it's a good thing since I've always had a knack for getting myself into predicaments. I'm originally from Hyden, a small town in southeastern Kentucky. I grew up in a holler. Yes, I said, "holler." If I were caught calling it a "Hollow," I'd have to cut my own switch! If you're from Appalachia, you know what that means. Hurricane Creek is the holler I grew up in. Even though it's just a dot on the map, the memories I took from there are so vast, they simply cannot be measured.Even though I titled this a diary, I chose to list them randomly, not in chronological order. They're funny, reflective, and often times sentimental. Will they change your life? No, no, they won't. But maybe, just maybe, they'll help brighten your day when you get a glimpse at my forty-six years of light-hearted fun.Take a walk with me back to the 1970s. That's where we'll start . . .

James and Nancy Duncan look at how the aesthetics of physical landscapes are fully enmeshed in producing the American class system. Focusing on an archetypal upper class American suburb-Bedford in Westchester County, NY-they show how the physical presentation of a place carries with it a range of markers of inclusion and exclusion.

For the first time, you can now get all three novels in Stephen Bly’s Horse Dreams Series together in one trilogy book. In the first novel of this series, Memories of a Dirt Road, we meet Develyn Worrell. Develyn, or Devvy for short, is a fifth-grade schoolteacher from southern Indiana who is broken-hearted about her husband's death and her daughter's decision not to come home for the summer. To clear her mind, Devvy decides to find a little dirt road town in Wyoming where she vacationed as a child. She fondly remembers the quaintness of the small town, the beautiful sunsets, and an remarkable Roan horse that has captivated her dreams ever since. Desperately wanting to experience that peace and tranquility again, Devvy embarks on a journey to find the town. When she arrives, she purchases her very own Roan mare, rents a little cabin with an incredible sunset view, and watches as God brings three very important men into her life. In the second part of the Horse Dreams Series trilogy, The Mustang Breaker, heavy-hearted Develyn Worrell’s mood is changing as she begins to escape the worries of her past and enjoy the equine charms of her picture-perfect small Wyoming town. It is there that the Lord’s leading is beginning to become clear, even as cowboy romances and the relationship with her grown daughter get more complicated. In the third and final installment of the Horse Dreams trilogy, soul-searching Develyn Worrell has finally found her groove. Ready to savor the end of summer in small town Wyoming, she settles in to enjoy “end of summer” peace and contentment. That is, until her daughter pays a visit, an eclectic friend plans to marry, a suspicious stranger enters the picture, and a dear mentor suffers a heart attack. Just as she begins to feel as if the world is closing in on her once again, the steady friendship of Cooper Tallon comes to her rescue. He may lack the charm and flash of other cowboys, but he always seems to have just what Develyn's heart needs. As her relationship with Cooper blooms and her faith and trust in the Lord grows, she looks forward to the unwritten chapters of her life.
