Jane Gilmore Rushing

Jane Gilmore Rushing, a West Texas native, produced seven novels between 1963 and 1984, building her stories around themes few West Texas writers had dared to tackle. Although Rushing thought of herself as a regionalist, her fiction transcends region in illuminating what has motivated and sustained the Midwestern frontier's settlers and their descendants.
