Corner of Pearl & Moffet

Travel back to small town life in 1954 to meet the people who live on the Corner of Pearl & Moffet.

Before 33-year-old Josie Jameson takes the seat reserved for the widow, she glances around the old graveyard. Close to four hundred people have gathered to pay their respects to her late husband. That is nearly the population of Ducane, Arkansas.

She had married Orville nine years earlier. That he was 43 years her senior hadn't really troubled her, but there had been plenty of talk. She was a farm girl when she married and moved to the big white house on the corner of Pearl and Moffet. She didn't fit the mold of housewife to the richest man in town. Now that he's dead, she owns the Ducane Savings and Loan, The Station that makes more money from liquor sales than gasoline, his private ledger books with unofficial loans and repayment schedules, and the little brown books written in his tight scrawl that hold the town's secrets.

When tragedy strikes, the good people of Ducane, who share each other's joys and sorrows, who celebrate others' accomplishments with pride, who take food to the bereaved and do chores for those who are sick, these same good people question her behavior and whisper behind their hands, "This is Josie's fault!"

This is a gripping tale of one woman's struggle through sorrow and challenges to find her own life.
