My mother, Mrs. Alice Y. Hester, taught high school for 42 years, mostly in small rural communities in eastern and western Arkansas.
Pictured here teaching, she loved her students and loved teaching. She was pregnant with me in this old black and white photo. She worked up to the day before I was born.

“My Backyard Garden” by Debra Hester is a love story, though not in the traditional sense of the lover’s relationship. Rather, it is the love story of a daughter as she moves through the grief of losing her beloved mother.
