About the Book
The Men of Matriarchy is composed of two books. Book One, A Few More Good Funerals, begins in central Texas in 1838 and traces the creation and evolution of the East Texas matriarchy through Jane White and her descendents in Sugar Springs to the present day. Book Two, Newton’s Sewer, is the contemporary story of Dub Newton, one of Jane White’s descendents, and the impact the matriarchy had on his life and his character. Together, the two books are an accurate and detailed account of life in East Texas.
