The Sock Monkey Doll in Bloomington, MN

Not a children's narrative...The Sock Monkey Doll, based a true story, is set in the Appalachian Mountains where "Hittie" struggles with a boilerplate code that prescribes her life in the early 1900s. North Tazewell, a coalfield town dependent upon the N&W Railroad, is in the flux that progress brings. A tale of bigotry, betrayal, courage, determinism, and unconditional love, The Sock Monkey Doll focuses on life for women living in a culture immersed in absolutes.
