Barefoot in the Cotton Fields of Oklahoma is a compilation of short stories of childhood memories told through the eyes of a unique woman. The main character, Esther, is a child in a family of twelve with numerous uncles, aunts, cousins, and family friends. Follow Esther through the stories, as she and her extended family deal with "going without" during the Depression in Oklahoma and on to California in her later teen years.

Some stories will make you cry and others result in laughter. However, all of the stories will make you think and appreciate your life and the people in it.
