Dillie’s Encounter with the Bucket Man

About the Book

Dillie, her family, and a few of their friends had moved to South Central Mississippi, from the Texas flatlands three years ago. Until now, they had lived happily and peacefully in their new home beneath a lush green golf course in a small Mississippi town. When faced with the horrors of The Bucket Man and his large Bucket, Dillie attempts to reason with him but fails. After an accident with injuries to his neck, The Bucket Man goes through a transformation that gives Dillie cause for celebration and curiosity.

She studied business at a local community college, then began a thirty-two-plus-year career in the business world culminating in a stint as the chairman and CEO of a nationally recognized manufacturing company.

She voraciously read all Nancy Drew mysteries, which were among her bookmobile favorites.
