Patricia West Hays

Patricia West Hays – Class of 1957, but graduated elsewhere. Her brother Conan West graduated in 1954.  Her father was Doyle West.

Her book – The Witness Tree was published last August and is available on Amazon.com. 

“While copying her mother’s recipes, a woman reflects on what life was like in a small Texas town in the 40s and 50s, recalling the year that changed her life and the lives of those around her forever.”  The book is a trip down memory lane for those of us who grew up in those times.  It is also about how family secrets were kept in those days.  Recipes from those days follow each chapter. 

I think that she would be happy to speak to any book club or other group in Corsicana.  

She lives in Dallas. Her website is http://www.thewitnesstree.net and you can contact her there.
