The Goat Woman of Smackover

<p><strong>She lived in a circus truck for over 50 years...</strong></p><p> Some say Rhena was a celebrity. Others saw an eccentric lady who tended goats by day and roamed the streets of Smackover by night. Which was it?</p><p> For children of all ages this 32 page picture book <em>The Goat Woman of Smackover</em> shows how one girl refused to stay crushed by her broken dreams.</p><p>Originally published in 2001 Author-illustrator Ramona Wood sketched from her own family goats when creating the scenes for this book. Ramona spoke with Rhena's former neighbors collecting a variety of tales about the woman who crossed their paths. Weaving together a single story from the sometimes-conflicting reports had its challenges. Nonetheless all would agree that Rhena left her mark on the community. Happily the Goat Woman's story lives on!</p>
