Hattie Marshall And The Prowling Panther, Hattie Marshall

Life on the frontier is one adventure after another for twelve-year-old Hattie Marshall. She enjoys the excitement, but sometimes things get scary, like when she gets swept away on a flooded river and has to save herself, or when a black panther keeps coming to her family's farm, hunting for its next meal.

Meanwhile, things are changing at home. Her sister is getting married, Gramma needs extra help, and worst of all, her brother and best friend, Sam, is leaving on a cattle drive that will take him away from home for several months. It all begins to seem like more than she can handle.

But Hattie will soon find that some things don't ever change-like the love between a brother and sister, and the fact that God is with her, even when she�s lonely and her world seems upside down.

Debra West Smith

Debra West Smith's earliest memories involve a fascination with both horses and books. She spent the first part of her life with her grandparents in Natchitoches, Louisiana. There, she enjoyed a quiet, serene life where she spent most of her time developing a love for reading. Inspiration for the Hattie Marshall series came from stories the author's grandfather used to tell about his younger days in East Texas.
