The Orla Flash

Forced to leave the humble countryside of her youth for the busy streets of big cities in order to earn a living for herself and her young son, single mother and first-time author Patti Beckham understands duty and sacrifice more than most. But her career eventually brought her back to rural settings like the West Texas town of Orla where she grew up.

In towns like that, she began to reconnect with her roots–with the men and women of small towns who dream big and live quietly. She narrates her tale with folksy charm and touching honesty, highlighting the life, love, business, family, and spiritual lessons she has learned over the years in her book The Orla Flash.
