Om The Book of Betsy
After a three-decade career of writing humorous, nostalgic books, stories, articles, and columns about the Great Outdoors, country living, hunting and fishing, raising kids, praising God, and enjoying life, Robert Hitt Neill turns to telling a real-life Love Story of his 55-year marriage to Betsy, "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World."
Once nominated for Southern Gentleman of the Year, Robert Hitt Neill, like any other Southern Gentleman, admits to having "Married Above Myself" to Betsy, a Beauty Queen at Ole Miss, a school renowned for the beauty of its Co-eds. "Betsy Hahpuh" survived being a Navy wife, becoming the Mistress of Brownspur Plantation during the times of bountiful harvests or drought and record-rain falls, raising three children with the Neill Brand as well as their friends, enduring being written-about by her prolific storyteller husband, then accompanying him to prison -- in the world''s largest prison ministry!
"The Book of Betsy: Forever 19," is an epic real-life Love Story of a couple upon whom God poured out many Joyous Blessings as they dealt with the many hardships and heartbreaks of life, ending with the tragic death of Betsy the week of their 55th Anniversary.
But life doesn''t end there, nor does this book. As Bob seeks to catch Covid, so as to join Betsy in Heaven, he has an unexpected lunch meeting with her Ole Miss sorority sister, roommate, and best friend, Cindy. There follows an "Epilogue: Can There Be Love After Love?"
Here is a hint: "Yes!"
