Enidite writes ‘Flinthills Frannie’

Mary L. Johnson, of Enid, has written a book “Flinthills Frannie,” which is published by PublishAmerica.

In a world of microwaves, Blackberries, unmanned space travel, McDonalds and everything else in the way of “advantages,” the author wanted to pass on to the children of the 21st century, some true pioneer stories.

What follows is based upon events in the years during the beginning of the Civil War in the life of her maternal great grandmother, including being orphaned during the Civil War by her father, being left behind when the wagon train went forward, her rescue and subsequent life following her mother’s death shortly afterwards, escaping by train from beatings and cruelty only to be brought back and finally, living a normal and productive life as an adult. The strength and resiliency of a little girl against the odds remains the theme of this otherwise tragic tale.

Johnson, a 73-year-old grandmother herself, has combined her love of children, history and family lore in her first book, Flinthills Frannie. She is a former legal secretary, and with her husband of 50 years, has 15 descendants.

PublishAmerica is a traditional publishing company whose primary goal is to encourage and promote the works of new, previously undiscovered writers.
