Overview

In June, 1872 Rebecca Brantley boarded a late night train in Winona, Mississippi searching for a new beginning in Memphis, Tennessee but unbeknownst to her, a stranger who followed her to the station that night would not be far behind her. So begins Boarding House Tales, the long awaited sequel to Out of Texas, the 2022 novel by Joseph Townsend and Anne Hart Preus about the Brantley-Baltzell Feud of the mid-1800's and the devotion Rebecca Brantley and Buford Hobbs, her former slave, always share for one another. In Boarding House Tales, Rebecca was sure she'd found a lasting refuge in her busy routine in downtown Memphis, yet an old nemesis would soon be obsessively searching for her there in order to settle an old score that began years ago when they first crossed paths on the Natchez Trace. This is also the story of Walter Witty, a Civil War veteran from Winona with his own troubled past and his efforts to protect Rebecca. She and Walter soon became regular parlor guests of the famous Ginnie Moon and her sister, Lottie at their 3rd Street boarding house. It was there where they held court in the parlor in Monday evenings and told tales of lost loves and ghosts as well as the astonishing and often hilarious accounts of their days as Confederate spies. The dramas of 3rd Street were not to be limited to the past as there were real danger lurking on those nights just a few steps away in the dark shadows of downtown Memphis. When Celeste Jones, fianc� of Theo Hobbs, Buford's nephew, is assaulted and the likely culprit is identified, it will be left for a close circle of friends to administer justice and to bring an end to the carnage that came out of Texas all those years ago.
