Riverbend was a quiet little town, the kind of place where one day was just like all the rest and nothing ever happened. Occasionally the stagecoach rolled through, but it never stopped, because no one ever came to Riverbend and no one ever left. The day the stagecoach stood motionless in the center of town, Sheriff Ned Hardy knew something was terribly wrong. What was the mysterious substance on both coach and horses? It would not come off. Soon it was everywhere in the tidy little village. Something had to be done, and Sheriff Hardy aimed to do it.

CT Barton is a young child living in the isolated Red River Valley of Texas. Born in a small log cabin, his limited reality is filled with living off the land, sharecropping, and no friends outside of his humble mother and father. At the age of five, with his mind filled with dreams about the unknown world around him, CT finally ventures into nearby Dennison, Texas, with his father, only to have his world shattered by the bigotry and cruelty of the residents. Shunned as "white trash," CT vows to become more than just a sharecropper's son. He pursues an education as a way out of the river bottom, yet faces steep challenges every step of the way. And as the Great Depression and then World War II all but overwhelm his dreams, he pushes forward with an unwavering determination to see his visions become a reality. For fans of John Steinbeck, Beyond the River Bend is a fictional story based on the life of author Phillip C. Holland's father, detailing the pain and struggle he endured in a bygone era while pursuing the desires of his heart.

The River Bend is a collection of fifty-six boyhood reminiscences about growing up in the River Bend country of south-central Oklahoma, in the first decades of the Twentieth Century. These little stories first appeared as a weekly column in the Konawa Leader, a Seminole County, Oklahoma, newspaper owned and published by Ed Gallagher. This book is my response to the mountain of correspondence from readers of the column who almost invariably began their letters with: "Have you written a book about this wonderful place?" The "Bend" is twenty-five square miles of rolling hills, scrub oak, and briar patches separated from the rest of the world by the wide and sometimes cantankerous South Canadian River. The nearest town, located in the mouth of the horseshoe bend, is Konawa, which has one paved street and whatever was left standing after the tornado of 1966. The eleventh and last child of a very poor dirt farmer, I grew up thinking I was rich. My family owned a one-hundred-sixty-five-acre farm in the center of the Bend, and on all sides of us were neighbors who seemed like kinfolks. The Great Depression and the Dust Bowl were words no one ever used in my presence.
