Ms Murphy completed the Fidelia McCord Trilogy in 2022, a story set in mid-nineteenth century America, inspired by true events of a girl's journey during harrowing times, of a pioneering family that traveled in a wagon train from the north to near Austin City in Texas.After release of The Dalhart Girls, a story of mischief and judgment, in the 1950's Texas Panhandle, a place dear to her heart,, she continues to scour the small towns of Texas for her next story. "Texas is so full of color and community and history. This state became my home, and I strive to make place a character in my stories."Ms Murphy's poetry has been published in anthologies (including the recent Earth Song, A Nature Poems Experience), The Write Launch, The River, and The Ocotillo Review, and she is currently working on a collection of environmental poetry.Read more about this authorRead less about this author

In the early 1950s, in the Panhandle town of Dalhart, Texas, the church stands firm amidst community and gossip. But on a December Sunday, Curtye Lee Logan, a shapely young woman from Colorado, enters Victory Church on the arm of bull rider Willie Bob Preston and takes a seat in the second pew.

Curtye Lee's arrival sparks town gossip and draws the welcoming attention of ranch-wife Shelby Hauser and the pastor's wife, Jane Connor. Shelby narrates the journey of these three women, revealing how they secretly gather to study mysticism in the back of Gene Crawford's store, unbeknownst to Pastor Henry Connor.

As Dalhart recovers from the hardships and losses of the 1930s Dust Bowl, the shadows of those years still harbor secrets and pain for long-time residents. Despite the challenges of life in west Texas and the scandals of a small town, the friendship between Shelby, Jane, and Curtye Lee remains steadfast as the Fates weave their destinies in unexpected ways.

- - -"Reads like Steel Magnolias mixed with Harper Valley PTA. " - Dave Inman, early reviewer"When three women become acquainted in the small west Texas town of Dalhart, they have no way of knowing how entwined their lives will become.

From very different backgrounds, fulfilling their very different roles, they are drawn together by a shared interest in exploring the forbidden subject of the paranormal. Their quest to learn about the paranormal leads them to deeper understanding and an unexpected friendship.

As time passes through unpredicted roads, their relationship flourishes as a precious gift that never wavers. The Dalhart girls are a perfect example of what friendship should be.

" - Pat Jackson, author of Judging Anna and Path to Confession. .
