Villager has written two books

Villager Elizabeth Carroll signed copies of her recently published book, Follow Me: The Life and Adventures of a Military Family, at Company’s Comin’ in March. Follow Me is a memoir of 25 years, following her career husband with four children and a dog from pillar to post in the United States, getting culture shock and living two years in Pakistan, traveling oceans and the European continent and supporting her husband through nine months of Navy Test Pilot School. Many of the family experiences were funny, some were not. Carroll reveals all in her memoir, published in February.
Carroll’s novel, Southern Winds A’Changing, was published in 2008. Played out in a small Arkansas town, it is a saga of two women, a Caucasian, Quaker schoolmarm from Pennsylvania and an African American sharecropper’s daughter, whose lives become entwined. Allise DeWitt gives birth to her first child the day her husband Quentin rapes Maizee Colson. Maizee has their biracial son, Nate. Quent is killed in WWII and Allise brings Maizee and Nate under wing. The two women forge an unlikely relationship and face problems of racism, religious differences and provincialism.
Carroll returned to her native Arkansas when her husband John retired in 2001.
Both books are available from Carroll at hteb963@suddenlink.net or by calling 915-0676. Her books are also available from iUniverse.com, amazon.com or barnesnoble.com. Her full name, Elizabeth Carroll Foster or the full title is required when shopping on line.mailto:hteb963@suddenlink.net.
