A little girl from Levelland, Texas was supposed to grow up, get married, and live happily ever after. At least, that's what her mother wanted for her. "Roots & Branches" shares twists and turns and even miracles experienced by author Pat Smith, who learned not to believe in fairytales but to trust God to create her own.

Books in the DeSoto Public Library local author collection include: Roots & Branches (2022) 

Copies will be available at the event for purchase and autographing.
