Dresses, Dreams and Beadwood Leaves, by Julia Taylor Ebel
A girl’s journey to mold her own self esteem within the cultural history of the North Carolina mountains Rosa May wears dresses made from feed sacks, but her earthy knowledge of roots and herbs gives her hope of owning a store-bought dress and feeds her dream of wearing nurse’s white. Ebel sets her story in the late 1940s, where root and herb gathering offered many mountain people a way to meet both needs and dreams.
Illustrations by the author & end notes on herb gathering.
