In a homespun vernacular all her own, Shirley Brantley narrates this true tale of struggle and triumph. Her debut novel, No Other Help I Know, is set in the early sixties in the rural south. Largely autobiographical, the story begins with Jeane Brockton en route to her hometown of Pendelton, South Carolina. During this sentimental journey, the scenes along the countryside cause intense memories to emerge. Early in the novel, Jeane unfolds the union of her mother, Etta, a Baptist preacher's daughter who loves gospel singing and sings in the choir at St. Stephens Baptist every second Sunday, and her father, Bill, a guitar-picking, blues-singing country boy. Bill wows the crowd at Bobby's Shack when he wins a hambone contest.
