Synopsis: Jess and Bonnie Speer have spun one of the best tales concerning Oklahoma history since The Grapes of Wrath. The reader will laugh some and cry some with these memorable characters. Hillback to Boggy is a story of one of Oklahoma's most trying times, the Depression years, and of a family that struggled for survival in a tent in the hill country of Hughes County. Papa tried to live by the Bible, but when he did people took advantage of him. "You can make peace with the birds and animals, but you can't with people, he said "Some of them are just a natural-born son-of-a-bitch."
