What happens to the near-perfect life of an attorney when her husband and law partner decides to become a United Methodist pastor in a small, rural Oklahoma town? The results are in Greetings from LeFlore County-the Lord, the Law, and the Laughter in Rural Oklahoma. This humorous work details one family's real-life adventures in easy-to-read snippets that pull readers in from the first page. Holly had been an attorney in a busy city for seventeen years when her husband and law partner answered God's call to ministry, and moved them and their three children to a small town in southeastern Oklahoma. Holly found a job as an assistant district attorney for the county where she suddenly became "that new lady DA." This book began as emails to her family back home when she found herself prosecuting criminals and being a pastor's wife in a funny world that was quite different from the city she was used to. If you have ever been amused by funny court stories on the Internet, entertained by a courtroom TV show, or intrigued by rural reality shows, you will love the stories of this family's adventures from moving day (and the humorous moving truck incident), through the hilarious trials and tribulations of the local criminal courts (he was arrested for what?), to the beautiful blessings and special small-town relationships that led to tearful goodbyes after three amazing in years in LeFlore County.

Within the throngs of Alzheimers diseaseUps and downs, brief moments of clarity. One is almost hopeful that the old you has returned for good, then, just as quicklya reality check. Its only a brief moment of clarity. I miss you mama, even though you are here with me. Ive had moments of griefforever grieving little losses every day. I try desperately to hold on to as much of you as I can, trying not to be selfish. I try desperately not to let it be patient and nurse. But letting it be mother and daughter. Wondering if this is dj vu. I can sometimes see Jessica helping escort me to the chair; covering me with the lap blanket and sweater and bringing me my afternoon mealits as if all that time has passed and I cant remember anything in between. Then flash back to reality when you are clinging to me for dear life, your nails in my arms and begging Jesus to save you, as we go from the bed to the wheel chair. Once safe in the wheel chair everything is ok and back we go to normal again. Weve all been through some sort of loss but this loss is especially cruel, to live while dying.
