The Further Adventures Of Ociee Nash (The Adventures of Ociee Nash Book 3)

In the tradition of classic children's literature, the Ociee Nash series follows the adventures of ten-year-old Ociee Nash, a spirited tomboy who uses her grief over her mother's death to connect with lonely people in need of a friend. Set in the early 1900s, Ociee navigates life in Asheville, North Carolina, under the guidance of her Aunt Mamie, and later in Memphis, Tennessee, where her family relocates. Along the way, Ociee befriends a variety of characters, including a 'witch woman' who captures her heart. The series, inspired by the real-life grandmother of author Milam McGraw Propst, has received critical acclaim, including a Georgia Author of the Year award and a national Parent's Choice Award for the first book, which was also adapted into a film.
