Miss Cornett’s Courtship (Hummingbird House, 1996/2005) recounts the semi-true tale of the courtship of my great-grandfather and grandmother, Samuel Patton Caudill and Dora Cornett. Written around 100-year-old letters from Samuel to his future bride, the story follows Caudill's quaint old-fashioned "missives" of love from the beginning of the young couple's relationship until their marriage. Texas Christian University Press Director Judy Alter quotes the book as “. . .a lovely gentle love story that kept reminding me of Cold Mountain--an old-fashioned and very satisfying story, with some wonderful insights into women's lives."
