Mozelle,
at age fifteen, was a tomboy, tried and true. Already she knew that she did not
want to grow up to be like a mama. She did not want to get married and, for
certain, she did not want twelve children. Mozelle dreamed of getting a good
job, buying herself a car, and travel across country a carefree woman-nobody and
nothing hanging onto her skirt tail.
That is until tall, dark, handsome Randell Tate, twenty-two years Mozelle's
senior, shows up in church one fateful Sunday morning and winks at her, throwing
Mozelle's world off-balance. Three months later they wed and Randell carried
Mozelle across the threshold into The Great Depression. Her children were born
and, against all odds, Mozelle set her sights on buying a piece of land and
building a house to put a roof over their heads.
Mozelle struggles to rise above a bad marriage and excruciating poverty. Blessed
with true grit and a strong backbone, Mozelle stands her ground and sways with
the breeze of disappointment and the winds of deprivation. Her determination and
her unshakeable faith in God, like the supple branches of the weeping willow
tree are strong and unbreakable.
Mozelle is every woman who squares her shoulders and vows to overcome, thereby
proving that Weeping Willows Dance.
